So lately I've seen more old Pontiac Fiero's looming about...
why not bring it back?..heres a lil info I found via wikipedia...
Already selling the Chevrolet Corvette, General Motors management and accountants were opposed to investing in a second two-seater sports car. But in 1979, during the oil-crisis, management saw a market opportunity for a fuel-efficient sporty commuter car and design work on the Fiero commenced. To this end, it was fitted with a fuel efficient version of Pontiac's 2.5L 4-cylinder engine capable of 27 mpg (US) (8.7 L/100 km/32 mpg imp) in the city and 40 mpg (US) (5.9 L/100 km/48 mpg imp) on the highway with the economy-ratio transmission option.
The 1984 Fiero was the Official Pace Car of the Indianapolis 500 for 1984, beating out the new 1984 Corvette for the honor.
come on..a 40mpg car that can beat a corvette with certain modifications?..
(given it'd lessen the mpg of course to make those mods)
why did this car only last 4 years?!
with todays technology this would be a freakin beast on the road...
good mpg + a lotta speed..hmm..
am I overlooking something?
probably so.
what's your opinion...?
