Question Newbi Question ? 996 Turbo At/Manual ?

Hi, this might seem common knowledge to you all. Is a 996 Turbo in Manual tranmition worth more than an Automatic ? Which has a higher resale value ?

It's usually the "eye of the beholder" but typically Tippy's have sold for less..

Manual will have stronger resale over a tiptronic.

I have had a fleet of stick turbos. Check what Hurley Haywood has to say about Tipronic S. I did and the Tip was for me after one road test. I'm still smiling. Sharkey...your turn to chime with your 10 second Tipronic S.

omega, it depends on what you have for programming and turbochargers. If you are running a stock package, GT2 coolers will not help. I wouldn't change to GT2's unless you are running larger turbo's and at least 1.2bars or greater boost.. If you are running a stock configuration, spend your monies on a suspension..
