I have a 2000 s tip. The manual states there are seven automatic modes the transmission will select from. I've even noticed it will start me from first if I do a couple quick starts. You can do a quick 5th to 3rd drop shift by quickly pressing the accelerator halfway down and then releasing back to the point you were holding at. This is a cool way to rev up for overtaking on the highway. You can also double tap the tip selector, but thats not as much fun.
The first time I drove mine I thought it was broken because it started in second. (which turns out is normal for a porsche tip)
