GIAC Tip chip question.
I know the chip reduces shift delay from 1 second to .2 seconds. on the AWE website the compare it to "superbike shifting". how well does this actually compare to a Manuel transmission? i know the manuel will still be faster but does the chip trip make them much more comparable?
Thanks,
Alex

RE: GIAC Tip chip question.
The auto shifting is superior to the manual, and faster with the tipchip. But what I hate about the tip is that you can't shift more than one gear at a time. And like Panda says, its heavier and cannot handle as much power.
bentframe - most of us don't race. The tip is more than adequate for many people to have that sporty feel while still retaining an automatic car.
