and congrats to the 18g!Even a moron knows the gear ratio on the Tip is not matching up with a 6speed. At high speed, a 6speed crushes a Tip easily. To make this fair, these two cars should run 1/4 mile drag race.
Like another 6speeder said, this is a race of turbos, and should be run between Tip to Tip or 6speed to 6speed, with different turbos.
One thing that I noticed was the Tip was shifting manually; most experience Tip drivers know that it is best to be in D/Auto mode when street racing.

Maybe true, But the power made to wheels wont change will it? But agree his shifts might get more faster...but i thought a Tip can shift faster than a 6 speed 
..My point is a good 6 speed driver should take a tip car...now if its a DSG...its a different story.
The tip car also shifts at 6500 rpms and my car shifts at 7000 rpms, so i think a TCU remap is also needed to go faster and hold power.

If tip can shift faster, we can catch you up a little bit during shifting.
Todd at Proto can make tip shift at 6800rpm or more, that can buy some benefit too.

chenshan,
Tip is no F1 gearbox, but it shifts quite fast. It is the gear ratio, not the gear shifting that slows down the Tip. (of course, plus the 200 extra lbs of tranny)

The extra benefit is, you won't miss a shift. I am not Schumi, I know for sure
