I have had my 987 for a month now.
Love the car, super fun to drive.
The only other trip car I have driven is the new Mercedes B200 turbo, which was very fast and the triptronic was almost as a manual shifter, it will not auto shift into the next gear until it was like 2 seconds in the redline, so you actually get to upshift.
The Porsche trip shifts too early for my taste as soon as you are very close to the redline it upshifts, so actually the only thing you do with the Triptronic in the 987 is downshift.
I suposse there is no mods for this and just have to live with it, right?
