Yep, it sure is disappointing...

It amazes me that an 'econo car' can go and handle as well as his does!
You're right. It does handle great.
I got the GMPP tune "upgrade"/"Stage II" installed this week. I thought it was quick before but, man, this made a noticeable difference!

I can't comment on the auto because I've never had an auto as a personal car, nor have I tried out an auto Solstice, but I'm sure it isn't as fun!
I think the base Solstice was to compare with the Miata's and such, for those into top-down cruising and not worried about high performance. The GXP on the other hand...will give some pretty fast cars a run for their money!
