Default Two observations

First I was curious as to the slow deceleration of the new engine in the GT's ...When shifting gears its actually amusing to notice the rpms never dropping ...that is unless you take a long time to shift ...Second ..the only dissapointment I could find in my new GT was the absence of a trunk light ..But that is easily forgotten once inside and driving ..

Ok, I checked, I have a trunk light, it's on the trunk lid itself, maybe thats why you didn't see it?

Think i'm gonna have to find another GT in town to compare the deceleration situation ..It dosent seem to hurt anything ..but never the less it would be good to know ..

Not only did I notice a significant decrease in hp when my trunk light burned out; I also noticed my automatic tranny became slower than the manual.

Well, the auto tranny was probably like that before the light burned out.
