Which ='s WIN for team TIP.

I just wish there was a way to do a shift kit like we used to do on the muscle cars to get them to shift quicker/harder. I like my Tip. I dirve it in manual mode unless I am just cruising on the highway and being lazy.

If your tip shifts fast, your not making much power. That's one drawback of the tip.

At least with a tip your friends won't tell you " If you can't find it, grind it"

I like my tip. There's not enough leg room in there anyway. I can't feather my clutch and get my boost up and I loose some extra HPs between the engine and wheels but it already the fastest car I have owned. With just a flash it outruns my SL63. I can't even take most of my friends for a ride because the SL63 made them cry, whats the TT gonna do? I don't want them loosing their lunch in my car!

I find that when driving it in manual mode I usually end up shifting quicker than it does in auto mode because I feel the acceleration starting to die off.

Or you can speed it up with a lightweight titanium torque converter.

The torque converter was built as a test part and is not for sale.
