How does the tip end up faster? I know turbo cars are well suited for automatic but 996TT manual was still faster than tip. Now sure what happened. Certainly will be interested to see more people buying tip and if DSG will be out anytime soon.

0-60 In 3.4 W/tippy!
From my email from PCNA:
Allowing the 480-hp 911 Turbo to reach a higher torque plateau in a wider rpm range. Go from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds (with the optional Tiptronic S transmission) and reach a top track speed of 193 mph.

I thought I already had my heart set on the 06 Gallardo but now I really have to wait till this bad boy to get here to make the decision, I mean the performance figures really blow the Gallardo away...and I'll get to stick with the gheytronic again!

In other words, they are giving the actual/real world stats now
But if they are being conservative with these numbers... that would be awesome
