Damn, you guys were all over it! I only got to make one post and the damn thread was locked.
I felt like it was a bunch of bull, but I looked at it as an issue of no big consequence.
Boy, he sure got mad didn't he?

By the way, my wifes new car is a '03 Saturn Ion (she picked it herself) with an MTX and the 2.2L ecotech rated at 142HP. That is the NICEST shifting transmission too, it shifts as slick as my SVT. It didn't seem very fast at first, but then I am coming from my 3L and I might have had to get used to it. It is very FUN-to-drive though.
The one thing I noticed about it is that it revs pretty slow...as if it has a gigantic flywheel or something. I want to fix that and I want to squeeze more power out of it. What mods are there? I can't find any word about it on the saturn sites I looked at.
Anyway, the ecotech 2.2L is a decent torquey motor and I am hard-pressed to believe an atx zetec will take it out.
