    84 Fiero was my first car. Not too sure i like this one. But i just saw it. Interested. Interesting though. Mine never had the overheating issue. Just a piece of carbon caught in a valve and lost compression. But it was a super fun car.

    Edit: 84 was 89

          Cool. Even the 4 cyl “Iron duke” engine was fun enough. Went to a few Fiero car shows (yes those exist each year around IL/WI) and a few people there had V8’s swapped in, one with a turbo.

            Lol my God!!! V8

            I miss that little car.

            My fiero experiences were in Missouri. I’m back up here in Il/Wi area now.

    Has a lot more of the Ferrari 308 / SW20 MR2 look to it. The flying buttress look is pretty cool.

    The early 90s had some cool concept cars. Another that looks close to this was the Dodge Daytona concept, but I think that project got rolled into the Stealth.

    They also were playing around with turbocharging the Mitsubishi 3.0 in a smaller package that would fit in the FWD vehicles like the spirit,Daytona, caravan but nothing came of it other than the engines popping up on forums every once in a while.
