[Number 3]

The 2.5L SIDI engine moves the Regal quite nicely. Not a Grand National by any means, but wayyyyyy better than Mrs. Number 3's 4 cylinder Malibu.

Everyone that I've talked to that has driven the 2.0T raves about it. But I'm not expecting Grand National performance either, just very refined usable power.

Hmmmmm, I've said Grand National twice...................I must miss my '87 GN. T-tops...................Stage II chip from a GM powertrain engineer I knew. BTW Stage IV chip required Aviation Fuel or so I was told.

Back to the Regal though. It is really a great car. Nicely balanced but firm. Quiet on the highway. The last one I drove (in Fen's Avatar) had a brief durability test run on it. Equivalent of 40,000 real world abusive miles and it was solid as a rock.
