Default Tiptronic vs manual gearbox

Hey i was just wondering the pros and cons of each, I am not a lazy driver this a true performance related question I am concidering about when i buy my z. Ive herd that a Tiptronic z Aparently shifts better, and smoother than a manual gearbox. but do you still have the same control...? Whats better for racing, drags and otherwhise.

Not quite the same control as a manual gearbox, but I do like my tiptronic much more. I consistently beat manual Z's while racing stock to stock. If you shift at the right moment in redline before you bounce of the rev limiter (I believe @ about 7200 rpm) you'll make gains on most manual shifting racers. It's almost like your powershifting with the tiptronic.

Simple, dont buy a sports car unless its a stick. Its faster, gets better mileage, and you have total control of the car. Don't be a kitty cat. Now close this sh**.
