Bought my '06 'vert about a month ago now. I am so impressed with the 2.5L 5 cyl and 6 speed auto trans. They are an excellent match together. The 5 cyl is much more powerful than I expected. I have always driven 8 or 6 cylinder vehicles and swore I would never own anything less than a 6 cyl because of the lack of power. But after test driving this 5 cyl, I was stunned at teh performance. And completely speechless at how, when the A/C is on, there seems to be no impact on the engine's performance. Can't say that about my V8 and V6 cars.
