I’ve seen some people say that they’d rather pay the premium for a high mileage manual than a low mileage (30,000km vs 120,000km) triptonic, that they’d rather get a colonoscopy from Edward Scissorhands than have a triptonic Porsche.
I’ve tried triptonic and while there is lag, it shifts faster than anyone I know If I buy a triptonic turbo 997 because it fits in my budget and I don’t mind the ride (997 gt3 to fill that need) am I really never gonna be able to get it off my hands because people can’t stand triptonics?
My turbo is manual now but had 997 tip in past and they’re nowhere near as bad as people say. Manual feels better, that’s it. I’ve driven manuals for over 20 years and I have a preference. I’m not a pro racer to talk about the performance benefits at the top end but everyday and enthusiastic driving, tip performance was better for me than manual because I’m treating my clutch with respect lol. On track tip in the manual mode was very reliable and held the torque well , I was modified to well above factory power too. Pdk is better (way faster shifts and better auto logic) than tip but 997 tip is great, and a good improvement over 996 tip which I also had before
