It did appear that the programmed sport shift mode kept the engine running at RPMs that were more conducive to keeping the turbo spooled up when you got on the accelerator. This also seems consistent with Edmund's recommendation of purchasing the automatic to be able to better take advantage of the 2.3 HOT's peculiar performance characteristics. Alas, the 2005s are all but pretty much blown out due to the GM fire sale. -Clint
