and that's why you see people dropping V-8's in them. and that's why they have such a cult following. . .yea you sir stated a personal opinion as a fact.


the V-6 GT's were safe cars it was the 2m4's from 83 and 84 that had the engine fire issue. but by the time GM had fixed that peoples opinions had dwindled the sales for the car down next to nothing. along with the release of the MR2 killed the car. ALSO crash test ratings on the fiero were out standing. so they weren't the death traps people have made them out to be.

I agree a fiero would be great to bring back. small mid engine car with a 260 hp turbo 4 would be great. that engine puts out 120 more horses then the original GT put down. and the original GT could keep up with Trans AM's and Camaros of the same era. if that says anything.
