Re: How about the quality of this car?

I'm not really thrilled with the Ecotec and automatic transmission pairing - it feels slower than my 96 1500(regular cab, long bed, 4.3 V6, 5spd - 195000miles), which is definitly not winning any races. IMO the manual transmission is a better pairing with this engine - of course I'd like to see about 20 or 30 more HP on the base version of this engine, which would certainly pep it up quite a bit, and might compete with the imports in the same category(Civic, Corolla, et al.)
