Why would you put basically the same thing on a rsx, or a hyuandi santa fe.
I'd rather have the paddle shifters though those buttons look a little hard to reach when turning or something.
Bad car though!!!!!

It's for the people that don't like to shift. If I had the money to own that type of car I wouldn't want to waste my time shifting. I'd do that in my STi. The 911 would be my cruiser/take-the-lady-out-to-dinner-mobile.

anyways, a 911 is more of a "old school show ride". I wouldnt race it, probaby take it to the track a few weekends out of the month, but as a DD (daily driver) I could see the use of a tiptronic.

If I didn't want to waste my time shifting I wouldn't buy the 911 turbo, I'd buy a boxster or a carerra. Isin't 911 turbo pratically a race car.

Rep Power: 248 Well if they have money to blow on that car it will probably be rarely driven and only for show-off occations. Also for conveinence... If some doctor is buying it for his wife maybe she doesnt want a manual...
