the tiptronic in my dads ve calais v seems to shift fairly quick however there still is a noticable delay, and it wont let you hold the gear for ever ie if u rev the crap out if it 2nd it will auto kick into 3rd.

hope that helpd i am not sure if the ve is the same as the vz box tho

I like the tiptronic in my VZ calais, like the guys said before its great for downhill runs and is a bit of fun when you are giving it some, but like you I thought I would use it all the time, I have had the car for about 9 months now and i think ive used it 3 maybe 4 times, its not anywhere near as good as you expect it to be...

not sure about commodore tiptronics but in my mates r34 skyline is tops...only problem is if u miss a change or change and accelarate again to early its slow changing gears...its just like riding the clutch on the way out..but wen u get the hang of it and know wen to power on again it can kick manuals fairly well.
