I drove a 04 automatic today. Granted the newer ones have 50hp more and this was an auto, it still just wasn't what I expected. Just doesn't feel like 400hp. I don't know exactly how to describe it, but the car just wasn't 'inspiring'. And the auto definitely sucks, I've driven family cars that would put you in a better gear than it would.
We took it out on the highway and my buddy waxed it in his srt4.
