Speed
I was very happy with my L27 when I had it. I wish I still had that car now (along with my SSEi). It was very quick off the line, had enough power on the highway, and was fun to drive. I knew it wasn't the fastest car, but I was content knowing it was not the slowest, and knowing the engine would last forever, or until I didn't own it anymore. (I still have all the keys

Well I had a 305 V8 previously so my SE is pretty fast compared to it. Like The Fake Canadian said, I'm happy knowing that I'm about in the middle, not the fastest or the slowest and it still can get 30+ on the highway
Personally, I went from NA to SC and I don't know if I can handle a non boosted car anymore.

Coming from a done up 1979 Firebird Formula...my car is slow.
However it has better gas mileage and creature comforts that make me prefer it over the 'bird any day.

before my car i drove:
83 Datson 200SX manual transmission - slow 4 cylinder
92 Ford Escort station wagon auto transmission - SLOW 4 cylinder
85 Pontiac Firebird auto transmission - slow 4 cylinder
96 Pontiac Bonneville - faster v6 (you know)
04 Pontiac Bonneville - faster v6 (same engine, me and my bro raced, first time it was neck-and-neck, second time i won by a couple car lengths, he got a bad start)
so my car is fast. ive driven gxp n* and ive driven ssei, but this is enough for me
(until i have the money to swap)
