That would make me feel real good!!! NOT

I love GM

Doesn't sound like a solution to me. It will probably have more wrong with it after they're done with it than before.

Especially over here, with Hans and Frans!! No offense to the Germans on the board, but they still have a lot to learn about these engines!!

Here's the soloution get an LT1 engine... take out the oil burning LS1 nad install the LT1 for a greater motoring experiance! (Just kidding.... it does suck that the re-call came out over here... due to the fact that whenever I bring my car in for recalls they come out worse than when they went in!!!!!)
