I agree you definately notice the torque from going up a hill or from standing still. When I test drove the Alpha a few weeks ago I actually left rubber marks on the test track when I punched it up hill. My test drive consisted of the test track for a couple minutes, followed by regular streets and Highway driving. The passing and take off is NOT the same as the 5. Takes off and passes like a V8 should. My 2 cents... Just got my GMID # emailed to me today, so I just may be ordering the Alpha in the next couple months once I sell mine. (GMID is good for 6 months.)
