Oh my god....that's one of the worst I've seen. Look at the mirrors on that thing!! But hey...the original never had a sunroof....so maybe this car IS better.....
 Reminds me of a time some kids pulled up to my father. Asked him if his F-car was real. He replied by saying it was actually a Fiero....and when the light turned green he just blew them away....

That Guy
|
There is a guy in my area with a yellow Fiero with a Lambo Diablo body kit. Its pretty well done actually, the only thing that really makes it seem not authentic is the fact its an automatic and how short the wheel base is. He puts the car into neutral at every traffic light to rev the engine a little, light goes green and he puts it back into drive...you see the entire rear end of the car shift down when it happens. Defenetley an engine swap, sounds like a V8. Whats sad is he tried to blow my doors off beating me to the next traffic light. I stayed next to him the entire time, probably geared wrong.

Whoever did that should be shot on sight with no questions asked. I can't believe that they actually wasted real F-car emblems on that thing.

See, I've seen some pretty cool Fieros with V8s and crazy nice upgrades that I would be proud to drive. But they were made to be what they were, not some hideous depiction of a Ferrari.
That being said, I am going to buy this car and show up religiously at every Ferrari Club event. Maybe even park it in the hotel parking lot before a Gruppe B event. Now THIS would ruin their picture! HAHAHA

Ugh
I just don't get the trend of wanting your car to look like a completely different car

I like how he lists all the specs for the engine and it's still just a 140hp gm V6.

I am trying to find something possitive, all I see is negative;
The front lower trim seems like it should be level The door seems so poorly lined up that I would think it would be hard to close The ride hight is too high The mirrors, man oh man the mirrors Great now I am angry and confused. please make it go away |

Looking at the pictures, it strikes me that a Lotus Esprit kit (early 80s body style) would be a much more natural conversion for those Fiero kit cars. I wonder why none ever turned up.

I hate replica fieros, look at how bad it looks, The body lines arent right, The wheel wells have like 4 feet of clearance between the tire and fender its just soooooo stupid. Why spend that much money and still keep it a v6 auto. I love how he says that its a head turner. THATS CUS IT SUCKS. One of those ALL SHOW NO GO GUYS. BLAH sorry Im done now
