But I don't see it being really good at much else.

Again, this isn't meant to disparage or offend, I'm just kind of puzzled at it, & wondering if there's something that I'm not seeing...
Sounds like you just described Chevy I kid, I kid. The Tracker is basically a Suzuki Samurai with a different badge. The Sammy is a very well loved vehicle with a strong enthusiast base behind it.

I "get" what your saying, but to me that just basically means you don't like "budget" type swaps. I imagine you would say that about the twin turbo LSX Pinto, and probably 1000 other swaps I could name.

If you have ever seen ANY of Scotts work in person, he does AMAZING work! I STILL drool over that Colorado SS he built! I still want to recreate it one of these years.

Geo didn't "make" ANY vehicles. It was a name GM stuck on rebadged Japanese vehicles of all descriptions. So any comment directed towards one would not apply to another, as it would likely be from another mfr.
