Is it you?
Here's the deal with the 911 Turbo: With the possible exception of the Tiptronic transmission, it's a magnificent machine. It feels right in the ways a sports car should. It fits snugly — like it's wrapped around the driver. It has massive power, huge grip and the best brakes money can buy. It's among the best all-around performance cars we've ever tested.

But the Tiptronic steals this car's famous ability to fully engage its driver. It's a bit of technology that should be reserved for cars that aren't half this capable. Or bear this kind of legacy. Still, if you spend a ton of time in traffic you'll probably want your 480-hp, 11-second sports car to come with the ease of two-pedal driving. About 50 percent of 911 Turbo buyers do.

Not us. We believe cars with this much personality deserve pure manual transmissions. We're narrow-minded purists and proud of it.

Another German stunna! Be sure to look at the video and stat chart for that 0-60 time! I'm waiting for the cabrio version, when will that be anyone?
