The 2.2 auto is a dog....I know I have one, BUT its better than a ford anyday of the week. I say the chevy ( just cause I never trust a ford ) Join the sickness that is S-10 customizing!!! My 4 banger automatic is respectable now, with a few bolt ons. Hey, Im not breaking any landspeed records, ( but I am having a lot of fun whippin around in my lil 4 banger! ) but at least Im not driving a Ford:thumbup:
