New C2S owner
Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I am the new owner of a beautiful C2S. I have previously owned an M3 and E55, but this is my first Porsche. I love the way the car handles and feels like it is glued to the road.

HI welcome from a similar new C2S owner or 1st time ower of a porsche rather.
I have a 07 997S with a tip gearbox. NO sport chrono.
While the car is in "M" mode its fantastic to drive, I must say in "D" mode, the gearbox is rather dissapointing for a Porsche in that the responsiveness of gear change is rather lagging. I'm a cruiser (and quite surprised how comfortable this car is when cruising) so I get up to 5th gear rather easily and am maybe at low 2000+ rpm. When I put pedal to the metal, I find it is very slow to shift down to 2nd or 3rd gear. Also, several times, I find especially from 3rd to 2nd or from 4th to 3rd when at low rpms of 2000+, the gearbox jerks like its trying to find the right gear.
I have spoken to a tracker and he said this is rather characteristic of the older tip tronic gearbox in the 997.1.
Not sure if any one else has this problem?
