My 996 is a manual while the 987 is a tip, but its rare that I drive the 987. Oh Im 24

 

28. bought Tip because of daily driving in terrible metropol. Coming from SMG M3, can you say I hate the transmission on my car.

This is one of the reasons I may not own a Porsche again. What a waste.

 

22 - Manual

 

I`m 27 and my 997S is manual....
tip of Porsche sucks!!!!!!
When I had my M3 with SMG....thats rocks!!!!
wheels spinning in 2nd and 3rd gear!!!
and you have LAUNCH CONTROL!!! like Ferrari!!!!
I dont know what`s porsche thinking.......

 

I'm 29, prefer Manual even in the crazy LA traffic.
The E350 automatic cause of the wifey otherwise would have purchased another car with a Manual tranny.

 

months from 40....manual and nothing else

 

manual of course

 

I am 31 years old and have had two 911s, both manuals. I dont think that I would buy a 911 in tip. The tip would not give me the sports car feeling that I would get from a manual P-car.

 

Manual - Dub

 

Hey DrJay2, I too am a radiologist.

997s - stick
boxster - tip
caymanS - stick (on order)
although a tip is nice when you have cup of coffee in your hand, my next p cars will likely be manual; for me, the tip feels too disconnected from the driving experience

997S is a stick; so was the old boxster S.

 

I drive a Tiptronic...track days too! I lost my entire left leg 4 years ago while riding my motorcycle (998S Ducati) when a mini-van took a left turn into me. I have no leg to push the clutch with although I wear a prosthetic.

I am 41 years old and work in the music industry, drums and percussion. My 2001 Boxter S with a stick and the 4 Vettes I woned were all stick.

However I am enjoying the Tip. I got to drive a Maserati last month with the Ferrari F1 tranny and a BMW M5 with their clutchless manual. WOW I can't wait till Porsche does something like this.

 

As a bike rider myself, your post just awares me of the unexpected dangers of riding and how careless other drivers can be against the motorbikers. It is a shame that while other manufacturers are almost releasing 3rd generations of the trannies you mention above, we are still speculating about the launch of first generation of the Porsche tranny. Those above are all sequentials while Porsches one is a PDK (DSG) I did not like any of the DSG trannies I drove in Audi, VW cars. Although I have to admit, way better and responsive than the tip.

 

Tip in the Wifes 997, F1 in my 360 spider ~53

 

27 Manual 996. A sports Car you MUST have a manual. Just my opinion though
