I am considering picking up a 987 S Tip and was wondering how the Tip in this generation is compared to the older 986 model.

The 996 3.4 I had with a Tip was a great experience, the every other year transmission service was a pain but...

The 986 2.5 I had with a Tip was a nightmare, over heating, at times would go into limp mode.

What am looking for are the Tips in the 987's the same or a different (better?) design than the earlier 986 Tips?

Thanks guys,

Brian
