  | C&D Short Road Test: 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo Tiptronic  Ever since we dumped the clutch at 4000 rpm in the latest, 997-based, 480-hp 911 Turbo, we've been keeping the Tiptronic (Porsche-speak for automatic) version in the back of our mind.

| Re: C&D Short Road Test: 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo Tiptronic Sounds like a fair review of the Turbo. It sounds more user friendly now and less "hard-core" though. It appears that the Turbo is now the gentile Upper-echelon 911, while the enthusiast option is the GT2 or GT3....
