hi ppl,

Just received the information from Hong Kong porsche today i can order the 997 TT colour and the production will start earliest May. Should i wait for the new rumor gearbox? or the existing Tiptronic? i own a 997S now therefore, i hope u guys can help me out.

thank you
jeff

 

Existing manual

 

If you can wait, the PDK will be worth it. But we have no idea when the PDK will be coming out, it can be 1-3 years from now.

 

I too have a 997S and am going to wait for the PDK tranny. Besides, right now the demand for the TT is out of sight. I'm hoping that by the 2008/9 model year the paddle shifters will be introduced.

 

Waiting will not help the demand to decrease. As soon as the PDK is released, the demand for the PDK version will be greater than ever. It will be the most demanded P car in the history of P cars.

 

since i put my deposit last year.....therefore, if i confirm within couple of week i will be gettin my TT in the first shipment.

darn it's hard to make the decision.

 

I would wait for the PDK transmission. Unless you have to have a TT now...

 

I bet if enough Turbo waiters back out in anticipation of PDK, that PDK will come out sooner.

 

just talk to prosche experts.....said the new gear box wont release the next couple years....specailly the PDK/DSG is unable to handle over 300hps engines.

Anyway, god knows what will happen....i guess i will just go for te TIP.

thks guys

 

997hk....I don't know who your expert is but the Bugatti Veyron has the following: Bugatti’s (VW/Audi/)....Porsche etc...seven-speed DSG twin-clutch gearbox needs no clutch pedal, encourages manual shifting using paddles mounted on the steering wheel, and works equally well and entirely smoothly in automatic mode. It handles over 1000 HP.., Porsche can do this easily with no issues.

 

true. while cost might be a real concern but they already solve the technical issue. the Veyron tranny is just amazing. u've got to drive one to tell how cool it is.

 

thks guys!

My TT will start production in may...wooohhooo....cant wait to get my toy.

 

If you don't want a manual, I would wait as well. By then someone will fix the bumpers too.

 

Wait for PDK IMO...
Besides, they will then have more options such as more HP engine, aerokit, etc.

 

Why not a sequential shifter??

Dont the new GT3 Cup cars have them!
