Turbo S, where is the non-turbo power?

i sense you are simply getting used to the fact that you have a tip. x50 or not. when i drove my 335i as someone pointed out upthread, the power was always on tap, as it is in my k16/24 car now. btw.. what are those button/levers on a tip called, anyway? - or +? right! got it! ( ducking )
when in doubt.. downshift!

Transmission is a % loss of power, the bigger you go with your HP figures the difference % loss between the 2 types of car diminishes.
Its not as good as a PDK box but hey its not a 997 either. Nearly all modern sports car seem to be doing away with a clutch and the stick change these days. Soon we will be laughing at stick change drivers saying come on Grandpa get a modern motor.

The ECU flash is your friend and a good free flow exhaust will reduce the lag. I heard good things about EPL and the other is Kevin in Seattle.
My car is a manual transmission and when I get a Porsche loaner (usually a Boxster tiptronic) I notice I have to constantly downshift the car to be in the right gear.
I suppose being in Dubai where 100 degree F ambient is typical does not help either. I travel between Las Vegas (100+ degress) and the beach in Los Angeles (75 degrees) there is a noticeable performance difference. When it gets cold in Las Vegas (40 degrees) then the car comes really alive.
