Techart GTStreet - tiptronic faster?!?
Discussion
Just reading an article on MSN Cars, apologies if this is a repost but i did a search and scrolled through a few pages...
They qoute the 621BHP Techart as being able to do 3.2 0-60 in manual guise but then further down they say this.
"And like the car it is based on, the best performance figures are achieved with the Tiptronic S transmission. Change gears yourself and 0-62mph takes 3.4 seconds, and 0-124mph 11.4 seconds – still stupidly quick then but clearly if you want the fastest version it has to be the auto."
I thought the tips were always slower than the manuals, albeit slightly? Is this different with the 997 turbo?

Not in the case of 997 Turbo... Tiptronic is quicker - its all to do with transmission ratios as well as optimum power delivery in combination with the active 4WD system and engine management.
Standard car's figures are 3.9sec 0-62mph Manual compared with 3.7 with the Tip if my memory serves me correctly.
