My first Fiero was still new when it was impact tested; leaving the car a pile of junk.
The second time is better
In 1997 I thought that it was time to have another Fiero. This time it was also an 84. This one was to have a V8 in it....What a combination. The car now has great straight line performance. Something lacking in the original 2.5 liter version.
The cooling system.
The cooling system is driven by a Moroso electric water pump pushing the coolant to the 4 core Archie radiator.
The handling.
The Fiero isn't noted for balanced weight distribution. Now add a couple of hundred pounds to the back of it. When I first purchased the car it was like "the tail wagging the dog." I have put gas struts and 16 inch wheels on it and it is much better, but it pushes the front while on the gas and hangs the tail out while off the throttle. Great fun, but you dont want to be eating an apple and trying to drive, This puppy takes your full concentration.
I really love this car.
Pulling G's in top gear brings a big smile to yourself and your lucky passenger. The grunt of the 350 cubic inch V-8 gives the car effortless power. I have a GMC Syclone Turbocharged truck that can only keep up with the Fiero.
Finally in 2008 it was time to move on. This car has been sold, please consider my low mileage Syclone and GTZ as your next performance cars.
