Basically, stock for stock...

3.0 has more performance
2.2/2.3 is more fun to drive

It really does depend on how you define "fun to drive". If that means you just have to have a stick, then the 2.2/2.3 is the only way to go.

I agree with dustbuster4--I have plenty of fun driving my automatic transmission 3.0. It gets up and goes when I step on it. If you want sports car performance, then a CL (in any configuration) isn't the right choice. It is a sporty luxury coupe, NOT a sports car!
