automatics shift faster than manuals. If you redlined an s2k with manual and redlined an s2k with tiptronic, tiptronic shifts faster and beats you. Its a glorified (read:better manual, not an automatic. Tiptronic lets you rev all you want, but the car handles the shifting for you. (Unless of course its something different like SMG that I'm describing......?)

Good kill.

Unfortunately, I have never ran into a boxster driver who wanted to run.
