Only time I'd ever heard of a Fiero before Forza brought one out was the car that Smokey Yunick built... he got 51 mpgs out of a Fiero.

Seems like all that weight on teh front of a Cavalier would make it a good red light runner... providing you're in a straight road. Drag strip material even. Just seems like the weight distribution would be all f'd up.


Here's a waste of an engine..

I almost bought a Fiero (1988) that had the LS4 already in it. Unfortunately, when I got back from Cuba, my wife used the $9,000 to buy a minivan. That's what made me decide to finance the Monte.

As I understand, the Fiero trans can bolt up and hold up to a lot of drive trains (including the V8s). But I am far from an expert on Fieros, so don't take my word as law.

What's your hot spot on '88? Other then each year Fiero had an exclusive color, I think the only magical thing in '88 was it included power steering. Is that what you're after??

My step dad has two Fieros, same age. One he bought brand new (I think in '87) and it's a blue 4 cylinder. It's been out of commission since an internal engine problem happened I believe in '97. He later bought the Fiero he could not afford at the time, a blue GT, same year and it's MINT (and runs). V6 automatic.
He recently bought a replacement 4 cylinder engine for the old one and plans to make it a road worthy commuter car some day again.

Not only the improved steering, but improved handling, suspension, and braking.
