I’ve seen some people say that they’d rather pay the premium for a high mileage manual than a low mileage (30,000km vs 120,000km) triptonic, that they’d rather get a colonoscopy from Edward Scissorhands than have a triptonic Porsche.
I’ve tried triptonic and while there is lag, it shifts faster than anyone I know If I buy a triptonic turbo 997 because it fits in my budget and I don’t mind the ride (997 gt3 to fill that need) am I really never gonna be able to get it off my hands because people can’t stand triptonics?
There’s a video on Carwow where they lined up every 911 turbo generation in a drag race. Every car before 996 had a manual. 996 turbo was a tiptronic. 997 and newer had a Pdk.
The 996 turbo with a tiptronic was barely faster than the 993 turbo with a manual. And the 997 turbo with Pdk was absolutely gone.
