I was always under the thought that the GT turbo came in a 5 vspeed only but they have a automatic on ebay
Is there a auto on the gt turbo and is there a differance in horsepower between that and the 5 speed
thanks

The *vast* majority of PT Cruisers, including the GT and Turbo Lite cars, come equipped with the Automatic. When I got my DCS2 I specifically asked for a 5-speed, and knew they made them as I had seen one on eBay, but of course being that the dealer only had an Auto., he tells my insurance company that's the only way they come, which as we all know is a lie.

Anywho, the engine in the GT (the HO Turbo) is exactly the same in the Automatic and the 5-speed.The PCM is simply different for obvious reasons.
Now the 5-speed should put slightly more power to the ground as the parasitic loss in the driveline will be much less in a manual versus an automatic.
