I just spooged a little... Okay, okay my pants are ruined. I have an 86 fiero sport with a 3.8 in it, and it moves along nice with a generous amount of throttle. THAT mean machine must put your eyes into your skull even getting off idle.... How's it run? 1/4 mile time? What tranny can hold up to all the hp?
this fiero makes my old fucked up roomates shitty ass fiero gt look like shit.....well it is shit...he thinks the ferrari badges and fake carbon fiber on the gas flap looks cool . along with his shitty paint he did. i come from auto body heritage went to school for it and everything. i paint cars its what i do....he diddnt even know how to lay on clear coat misting it on like a fuckwad...now he has a blotchy flat black fake ferrari looking gt...ur fiero is dope
@evanthejew12 sounds to me like your venting.. does your room mate make you mad, but you cant tell him that to his face? Whats the point in getting on youtube and bashing your roommate?
@jesman1985 lol it does sound like i am but trust me i have told him to his face.....and her face...lol yea usually i dont do that but this vid just made me feel the urge to bitch about them lol
@Warblade118 lol you´re so dumb. it will not hook ? there are two facts that will make you look as stupid as you are. 1) this car is rear wheel driven 2) that heavy big block is literally sitting on the rear axle meaning there´s like 70% of the car´s curb weight in the rear. this thing will hook like it other cars that run drag radials if not even full slicks - and that under STREET CONDITIONS (street tires + no sticky dragstrip) so shut the fuck up kid
don't know much about Fiero besides they are fun in the rain but my question is is what drivetrain do you use I would love to see a vid of the setup thanks Cool swap
Your looking at the same video I am right? I mean there isn't some parallel universe were supercharged and V8 make less power then turbocharged 3.8L, is there?
Joking aside there is on excuse whatsoever for your comments. All three of them. It clear you either have no godly idea what you're talking about or you're here to troll. Which is it?
A low boost turbo V6 in one of these can be a handful. I can only imagine how hard it would be to get a SC big block to hook, much less stay straight. With some good slicks and a sticky track it should be a wheel standing son of a bitch though!
hell yeah! now thats how you build a fiero the right way. congrads dudes. people on you tube talk so much shit about oldsmobile,pontiac,buick,chevy,gmc,cadillac, if you like one then you like them all. why? because they all are "built" under" the same name GENERAL MOTORS. dont be a bigot car dudes. (:>)
MR2 was never FWD...it was Fieros direct competition. And there is no turning around mess, you slide the FWD Toronado/Eldo setup to the rear since these are mid-engine...
Skullangel I love lambos, but they aren't 1/4 mile machines, not made for it. most run in the high 11s and only thanks to the AWD. Theres also tons of V8 Fieros EVERYWHERE running fast. If you looked on the net youd find them, if not your blind.
Sad how so many people talk like they know something and have no clue what they are saying. Not going to waste more time pointing them all out but really...
Cletus...A 454 never came in a Trans Am. A 455 did at one point, a Pontiac motor not a Chevy genius. They were choked out by smog BS. Let them breathe again with exhaust, intake and give them back the larger valved, better flowing cylinder heads and see what happens!
Averagesmoker...Fieros didnt weigh 1800...more like 2800.
@AvidR1 ya it is sad people like u think they know what there talking about pontiac did not make the 455 olds did ant they put them in pontiac`s and buick riv`s also but i can clearly see u dont have a clue what u are telling people so nxt time get the facts right=)
@aportiz1982 Seriously...go back to sleep. Buick, Olds and Pontiac all made their own big blocks including 455s!! Your born the same year as I but obviously never had one. Check out the Edelbrock site. Mine was a 67 Pontiac Lemans (lower trim level GTO) with a 455 from a ragged T/A and I threw a Ram Air IV cam in it and Performer heads from Edelbrock. Check their site, the part numbers for the Olds and Pont are diff. Hell, use google...would have taken you 5 seconds to get the facts ID-10-T
I can almost bet that that car is just for show. I can see trying to get on it, and blowing the transmission and breaking the cv's instantly. Cool looking though
I want to do this to my beater Fiero!, The only thing i would change is this. I would draw cartoon strips on the blower belt and permenantly hook a timing light up pointed at the belt so i could watch my cartoons dance and what-not while wishing i could get traction. lol
does tha car even move?? i like fieros but damn what the point in putting a big block in there? go with a northstar or a small block chevy engine or somthing jeez what a piece of shit
haha vfIskullangel thinks a Lamborghini will mop the floor with this? these cars are extremly light and look at the build of that motor if im not mistaken there might be nos on this car no way a lambo is gonna smoke this unless he cant keep the traction
I disagree, an 11-12 second fiero is easy to build, only takes 350-400 horses. Power vs weight ratio on this fiero vs a gallardo or diablo has to be ATLEAST comparable. A fiero only has a curb weight of 2800-3000 lbs. Plus think of the cost difference...
urancho and elijahinky weight distribution is not such a huge problem. Engine is located in front of the rear wheels so some weight is still taken to the front.
@PatriotLogan More torque makes it easier to launch a car, but with the same amount of horsepower you can get just as quick of a start provided you have a good clutch and the skill to use it just right so that you get the optimum balance of horsepower (by keeping the revs up) and traction (by letting the clutch slip just enough so that the tires don't start spinning)

This is to compare two engines running at a constant speed. This does not factor in acceleration. A car geared right with 650 ft lbs of torque at 3000 rpm and 500 peak horse power will still accelerate faster than a car with 500 peak hp @ 7000 rpm and 400 ft lbs peak tq @ 3000 rpm. Does that help?
@counterfit88 Really? Are you serious? Man, I thought it was a VW engine with a leaf blower on top. . . .Thanks!
For everyone else . . . I've owned a Civic . . . loved it! Reliable. Cheap on gas. Fun to drive. However, there is no replacement for displacement. Top Fuel dragsters run big V8's, not VTEC 4-bangers.
@PatriotLogan Well said! For all you little fucks that think you know about cars. You can talk HP and torque numbers all day long. HOWEVER, if you dont what a powerband is, then you dont know shit. A 4 cyl honda with 400 HP has to scream at 7,000 rpm just to touch that HP. plus with shit ass torque. A big V8 gives you 400hp say from 2500 rpm to 5000 rpm WITH 400 lbs of torque. you cant compare.
a buick 350 with a turbo sitting on the 425 turbo would be light, smaller and it has the same stroke as the 460 ford. it would also make one sick ride...or a pontiac 403 with a whole lot of ass stompin go fast parts from mondellos
now lets see it actually do something on the street without blowing up or breaking. gotta love these giant engines that cant do shit because they are too impractical.
@vfIskullangel dude jesus this thing was obviously built for show...and if you mean in 1/4 mile youre a tool...lambos arent shit in 1/4 there are 3 tt gallordos here that run 11's and they are making well above 1k hp not that impressive to me...get that lambo shit out of my face.
At least I can show you some proof of Lamborghini's that do amazing in the 1/4mile unlike your beloved V8 Fiero's which aren't shit.
BTW There's a TTGallardo that is almost in the 8's it run's 9s at 160+Mph go check out UGR Gallardo's before you open your fucking mouth and look like a dumbass.
So...um...er...how does it...you know...work?

@counterfit88 Really? Are you serious? Man, I thought it was a VW engine with a leaf blower on top. . . .Thanks!
For everyone else . . . I've owned a Civic . . . loved it! Reliable. Cheap on gas. Fun to drive. However, there is no replacement for displacement. Top Fuel dragsters run big V8's, not VTEC 4-bangers.

@PatriotLogan Well said! For all you little fucks that think you know about cars. You can talk HP and torque numbers all day long. HOWEVER, if you dont what a powerband is, then you dont know shit. A 4 cyl honda with 400 HP has to scream at 7,000 rpm just to touch that HP. plus with shit ass torque. A big V8 gives you 400hp say from 2500 rpm to 5000 rpm WITH 400 lbs of torque. you cant compare.

a buick 350 with a turbo sitting on the 425 turbo would be light, smaller and it has the same stroke as the 460 ford. it would also make one sick ride...or a pontiac 403 with a whole lot of ass stompin go fast parts from mondellos
nice ride tho!

Lets see some performance figures.
I can show you some videos of Lamborghini's putting up better times than this paper weight can ever dream of.
So come on wheres the proof! Show me! I'm even calling out the V8 fiero guys to come show me whats up.

If there's anyone here whos the tool its you.
At least I can show you some proof of Lamborghini's that do amazing in the 1/4mile unlike your beloved V8 Fiero's which aren't shit.
BTW There's a TTGallardo that is almost in the 8's it run's 9s at 160+Mph go check out UGR Gallardo's before you open your fucking mouth and look like a dumbass.
