    If you look at the interior when they compare the instrument cluster, the fake Ferrari is using a Fiero cluster, LOL

    That first engine shot looked an awful lot like a Fiero 2.8L V6 engine.

    kind of like the cobras that have been around forever (the fiero ones have been around a while and are slowwww the body kit is heavy from what I understand)

    that is pretty funny, but at the same time i have to admit it's a good fake.
    also on another note don't remeber where i saw it, but it was in a car magazine where guy and his son swapped a LS1 into a fiero.

    didnt mean to offend anyone. my buddy had a NICE v6 gt fiero , i must say it handled and accelerated NICE , but the 4 cyl. ones could put you to sleep.
    on another site there is a guy who installed a 4.3 turbo motor from a sy/ty in one ,that one would be fun to drive.

    Used to be a guy in the north side of OKC he had a Ferrari F40 clone done on a Fiero of course. The outside from a long distance looked good, when you got closer the body was very wavy and the panels didn't fit right (whom ever put the kit on did it half assed IMO). The interior was stock Fiero, nothing special there. Under the hood it had the good ole' 2.8 V6 w/ a couple bolt-ons. It was definately all show, no play. The guy had a 100 shot on it and even then I don't think it would even cut a low 16...

    I've seen Ferrari, Lambo, etc. kits on Fieros in person. Some bad, some decent. I've seen actually Fieros I liked better.

    I do like some kit cars out there (not really replicas) and some one off creations I've seen. One of my favorites was hand built off a late 90s/00s Camaro. Wish I had a pic of it still.
