There's plenty of shoddy work to go around everywhere, too.

The competition to the MT-82 that's in the other big "American" cars (Camaro, Challenger, Corvette) is the Tremec 6060, which is a Mexican made transmission with parts sourced from, you got it, China.
The thing I hate to see is the loss of jobs to China, they are on the upswing and we are going down big time.
I will not be around to see it but they will take over anything that is worthwhile.

So buy your Chinese goods and say farewell to your and your children's future job prospects, but it is probably too late to save them anyway.
