Shelby used the 4.0 v8 from olds. Was part northstar but wasn't called northstar. Great motors but loved leaking oil.
I've seen Someone put the north star v8 in one of these gotta have some power
Now if you could actually find one in this condition.... Good luck, it's an old Pontiac, people abused those things
Yea to bad it was like the worst car ever made Or it wouldve been awesome, lmao
Yeah, thus is actually not a bad looking car. Definitely one of the best looking from the 80s. Too bad they kinda sucked in all other aspects.
Description: They tried so hard to hold back the tide of the muscle car trend, and some at the company must have been secretly pleased when the energy crisis killed off the muscle car. But by 1979, with said crisi...

Description: The Fiero was one of only a few postwar two-seat American cars, and still remains as the Big Three's only mass-market mid-engine model. Weirdly, it wasn't actually planned as sports car, exa...

The it was released this beast packed the Turbo Trans-Am engine, and we all suddenly decided NOT to return the car after the drive...
But the sad part is that if someone handed any one of us the keys, asking if we wanted to take it for a ride, we'd all be like; um...yes. Yes i do.
well you see the 2 air scoops add about 100 hp each and the rims add 25 hp all together. and the stripes add 200 hp
Description: At least, this is how it was pitched to the bean counters, and since it used parts-bin components from GM's dreadful econo-boxes for wheels, suspension and brakes, it wasn't a hugely expensi...

Description: But the Fiero was still a fun car, and was named in Car and Driver's Ten Best for 1984. A V6 was offered starting in 1985, and the Fiero would get noticeably a bit better every year of production...

That thing is amazingly clean... I bet this was the interior of the junk yard one we saw a few pics back... But seriously, compared to what was interior wise when it was built... It's certainly NOT terrible...
Simple and dam clean. Yea I never liked 80's interior comparing to what we have now. But I would drive this definitely.
@byakka why do you look like someone that belongs In an 80s punk movie? Every time I see your picture I just imagine judge dread kicking you in the face
Description: Now add to this the fact that some of the connecting rods being used for the Fiero were found to be defective. An internal memo from Pontiac reveled the problem to be with anywhere from 10 to 40 perce...

Description: However, it was almost exclusively the 2.5-liter and the 1984 model which caught fire. By mid-1987, the 1984 Fieros were catching fire at a rate of about 20 per month. Those 260 cars which burned made...

Think the point is if GM continued the car it would of been a budget car compared to the vette. Replace the Cruz with it?
Look up the iron duke 4 pot Fiero that smoked Porsches back then. GM almost built it, but was worried it was too fast they were going to require a driving school. The Fiero had HUGE potential.
@zach he learned that from need for speed. American cars are heavy and have good acceleration. Tuners have good handling ad exotics have high top speed. Then people carry those stereo types over into the real world and make themselves look stupid
Nic, I don't like a lot of vettes, but even ik that vettes are incredibly light and fast on the track, where did u learn they are so heavy?
revival? I know its a long shot, but I think it would attract more customers than that code 130R.
Magnetorheological suspension. If you're going to prove someone wrong at least call it by its proper name.
Actually I'm not sure if it was Porsche. I'll have to look it up. Magnetic ride control that is.
@Nic you have to be joking me. You must know NOTHING about the Corvette. Do know the vehicles it has beat around the track? It weighs almost nothing! Wow how ignorant. GM used to lease it's suspension to Porsche.
Jimmy, you don't classify the camaro with the 370z and BRZ and frs. And the zr1 is a straight line car, as is any heavy American muscle car.
I think it should read 260 is .07% of all Fieros, still a high number for a failure like this but not as bad.
Why do we need that we have a Camaro to slaughter that and a ZR1 to clean up the super at scraps.
Can you imagine if GM had a mid engine sports coupe to compete with the BRZ, 370z, etc? Would be great if it had kept going. Closest thing to it would be the Solstice I guess.
It is a shame. The moment they got the car right they killed it. Just like the Merkur XR4ti, the Mercury Cougar, and the Ford Focus SVT. American car companies are too quick to orphan cars.
The Fiero never caught on fire. Not in numbers to make them famous. I owned one and this was the best car to this day I ever owned reliability wise and it was fun to drive AND got 32 mpg. Not bad for a 85, in 2005. Miatas don't do that!
@Antonio U do know the CRX came b4 the Fiero right?
Great looking car that opened the way to the Toyota MR2 and Honda CRX.
I love these!
I had one
I dont think people realize how few fieros actually caught on fire.
When the fiero first came out, I drove one to an auction. It burned down on the Auction block.
The fiero was known for going so fast that it would break the sound barrier causing it to burst into flames. (Autocorrect suggests "fiery" for fiero, ironic?)
Never had an issue with my fiero. Come to think of it, no one I know ever had an issue
Horrible car. Not even a soft spot for this trash.
This is becoming quite a trash America series
Had five Fieros and no fires.
Yes it's here
I loved my fiero. Not really a family car though.
Damn this phones auto correct.
Oy reason this got famous for catching fire was because gm printed the wrong amount of oil for the engine, so people fallowrx there manual and basically ran there cars way under then intended limit, reason for the fires was the connecting rods would break, puncture the black and get oil all over the hot exhaust...
