One point before moving away from the Fiero, Power and Torque for the V6 versions was not nearly as pathetically low as previously noted. Here are the official specs:

ENGINE HP, NET/ 135@4500rpm/
TORQUE (lb.-ft.) 165@3600rpm


Note the rather high torque at a kind of low RPM, that's why the Fiero was a better daily driver. Power and torque were in the RPM range that most people use during daily driving. It also explains why a Fiero GT could (stock) Chirp it's rear tires in the 1-2 upshift without tthe driver even trying to do so. you could also get the tire chirp at the 2-3 upshift, but you had to do that one on purpose. Remember, this is the same engine that had to propel a 3,400lb Camaro. So naturally it would make a Fiero, which weighed in at at least 1,000lbs less (fully loaded GT) Just flat haul ass in comparison. Plus, Fieros don't rust. Toyota can't say that about the MR2

this guy ^

i have always loved fieros, i wouldnt mind having one.

Fiero can = sleeper from hell.

Just imagine a Fiero with a supercharged 3800 V6. Stock, that motor pushes 240 bhp/280 lb-ft. With an air ram and free-flowing dual exhaust...scary.

Of course, you must have the tricked out suspension, wide tires, etc. Couldn't be all bad...

I saw 2 badass Fiero's at a car show a couple days ago...


1 had a 350 V8 in it, and the other had a S/C'd 350 V8...:burnout:


The S/C'd one was extremely bad!!! It had a huge ram-air scoop kinda on the roof of the car, back by the engine(hard to describe...)...

Are you asking me? If so, I would post some pics, but I didn't take a single pic while I was at the show... I don't usually take pictures at car shows, as the cars there tend to be the same one's year after year after year...
