1988 Pontiac Fiero GT 350 from North America
Summary:
Wicked Car
Faults:
Headlight motor quit, shifter console getting worn. Leaky trunk due to road spray from wheel wells.
General Comments:
Had all the problems fixed, frame was a bit rusty in back by trunk had new sections welded on. Did motor transplant using a 350 crate motor, brand new. Dyno rated 342 hp to the rear wheels. Had an 89 vette, but sold it for the Fiero. The Fiero is very fast with the new motor. Need new rear tires, Wider. Compared to my vette the fiero even with the stock 2.8 is almost as fast, but handles 10 times better.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have an 88 Fiero. It's a fun car that is unique in that it's an American mid-engine vehicle with a space frame and composite body panels. Fieros are real "sleepers" due to the fact that many of these vehicles have been updated with a variety modern engines from Ecotecs, to Northstars, to 3.8 Supercharged, to small blocks. Likewise, interiors and suspensions have also been upgraded. Although stock in appearance, my car has a 3.4 L engine from a 95 Camaro. It's a quick, great handling car, and I never worry about seeing myself coming and going.
