Depending on what transmission that Cavvy has, it could be BETTER then the Cobalt SS. I drove a Cobalt SS a few years back (first year I think GM did it) and I was not impressed. It seemed REAL fast at lower speeds, but you revved through the gears WAY to quick.

If they were able to mate the manual behind that, I would run it.

Jenna used to have a Cavi, they weren't bad cars. Obviously the build quality was a little lower (fan speeds I'm looking at you), but they were still great for a small cheap car.

The 3800 swap is pretty common in a Fiero.

If you do build a Fiero, remember the 88 is the best year

I just checked out the Fiero videos. Nice cars. I never knew the Fiero had a T-Top option??? Or was that an aftermarket mod?

From what I understand, the kit to put a 3800 is basically the same to shoe horn a V8 under the hood. Comes down to, can you source a V8 to drop in? Either way, a 3800 SC, OH MAN! And as I understand, it bolts right up to the stock Fiero trans! A stick shift on the 3800 SC (drool).
