Yes tiptronic is less of a turbo. Still a turbo and I like yours but a turbo is the one modern sports car that needs to be manual. Love the 458, do you have any plans for mods on that? New wheels?

Im going to disagree. If only manual was available for the Porsche, I wouldnt buy one at all. PDK might be better than the tiptronic in some ways, but for outright speed the tiptronic is stronger..

Wheels coming for 458... should be here tommorow!
