So why exactly is the Tip slower than a manual trans? I know I like to automatic a lot more because I'm not missing shifts anymore and it's a lot smoother.
PS: Searched, but I can't seem to find any magic sequence of words to get the info I want. I read that it has to do with not using the manual mode.

Tip is not as efficent at transfering the power from the engine to the driveline, so it saps about 5% more torque than a manual trans. Tip is also heavier than a manual by about 80lbs. Tip starts from stop in 2nd gear unless you downshift with the steering wheel mounted button to 1st.
