OP. I'd have it checked for codes, you have something abnormal going on. Does it pop at idle or anything weird on startup?

It'll lurch and sound weird like any other over stressed machine.
Shift down. Even get the free rev-matching - WOOT!

No CELs, no popping, nothing weird on startup. Everything seems fine. The car runs normal. The only thing I noticed was decreased fuel mileage. The car only felt slower than normal, which brought me to my initial point of the 11 sec 0-60 time.
As far as the stuttering at low RPMs, I only noticed that during initial ownership of the car, when I would be cruising or for some reason I had my foot off the accelerator and then went WOT, the engine was infact lugging. Realized during the course of a week or so, that the AT is very happy to shift up at every given opportunity and avoid shifting down when going WOT. Overcame this with a little common sense and downshifting a gear or two.
So in short everything seems normal, the only thing that caught my attention was the drop in the mileage (from around 24mpg to 16mpg).
