I got an '84 Fiero but its the 4 cylinder I drove it for a while but then it started having a nasty knock in the rod bearings. Had good intentions to do boddy work and drop a new motor in it but never got around to it. Its in our back property where it has been sitting for 3 years lol. Fun little car to drive, kinda like being in a go-kart. Im 6'4" and I had more than enough leg room in it.

V6 Fieros haul ***.

Not in stock trim. They have a seat in the pants feel, but speed data doesn't confirm the feel.

I wonder how those would do in a demo derby!

Probably would blow up before it hit another car, lol!

140 horses and 170 torque sounds hot to me in that light a vehicle...They only go 120 though?

I'm willing to bet it isn't as light as you think.

I'm glad your wern't 6'6" or you'd been behind the rear glass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

2790lbs

so HP/lb ratio is 1/20

2nd gen Miata is 2200

HP/lb ratio for a 1.8 liter(140hp) is 1/16

The Miata has more power to weight and I don't consider it fast //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I've got and 84 Fiero sitting in my drive way (less than 70,000 miles). It's sat more than it ran (it's an extra-project car. Complete project now). Never finished the install and it sat so long it quite working. I saw one guy who cut holes in the wall behind the seats (carefully) and installed 2 10's in there. I've had two Earthquake STS 10s sitting in my closet for 4-5 years waiting to get put into it, but it's sat so long that I need to get it running and do some minor other stuff first. I actually liked driving that car, but it was tough. No power steering and a real tough clutch (5 speed).

ive rebuilt one of those motors before, was in an s-10 tho..dude spent like 2k on internals and it was still a dog.

iirc those have a muncie 4-sp? Like the Borla tips //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
