Seems tempting to go for tip,based on figures,but i just cant see it for myself,wondering any you stick guys leaning towards tip?

 

The decision is driving me nuts. It's like you have to choose between more passion or better performance, two things which should always go together.

I'm waiting for more info to trickle out, and may even have time to wait until the first user reviews come out. I'm actually hoping not to hear from my dealer that it's time to order !

 

I have a feeling that the performance advantage is only for straight line, and it makes a bit of sense espeically since the new turbo technology is being used.

For normal performance I would assume that the manual would be faster, as the tiptronic could never be as fast as manual shifting...my problem will be when the PDK comes out, because I have no doubt that will be faster in both respects...

 

Tiptronic = performance? Tips are for girls. No offense Sharky.

 

When I order my 997TT it will definitely be a stick. It's just so much funner for me to drive a stick...no matter if it's a tad slower...

 

I went with the manual as well. I just think that with the weight, the tip is going to feel like a SL65. The PDK might change my mind.

tip. i loved my 996 TT tips

 

Tip for sure

 

Stick, even if tip wins in the straight line, if the tip functions anything like the transmission in my old Cayenne TT I would not want it, unless you were flooring the car (which is sometimes not feasible on backroads) the thing would upshift too soon at low speeds and RPMs, it would select 4th gear at 35 mph. I would prefer the control of a stick.

 

A stick for sure, you've gota be kidding with a tip.
Mines in for a '07 allocation.

 

tip here for sure

 

I dont care if the tip goes 0-60 in 1.5 seconds...three pedals for me! No offense to those with tip because everyone has their own needs and likes.

 

I love the PDK idea, the manual seems better for high speed runs since it is a 6 speed versus the 5 speed tip. It's not all about straight line performance. I don't see many of you 911 TT owners doing drag races at street lights! Racing on the roll is where the big boys go.

 

I wanted the PDK but that's not gonna be available at launch so I'm going for manual myself. Can't stand the idea of an automatic in a sports car!

 

Hmmmm...lots of people seem to be going for the Tiptronic. Maybe a name change is in order for the web site.

I'm thinking 5speedslushbox.com has a nice ring to it.
