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?
No it’s a very good option as long as you have the right expectations, it’s not going to shift fast, it’s not going to as fun or competitive around a track but if you just want a fun and fast daily or even a drag car the Tiptronic can hold over 1000hp with out even having to touch it, the 997 turbos motor can hold around 800whp with out opening it as well so you have a lot of potential for not a lot of money (relatively).
