88 Fiero GT AT Test Drive to 100 MPH

Slow run up to 100 mph in an 88 stock 2.8 liter V6 Fiero GT to test its automatic transmission and stability after recent repair and brake mods.The car shifts very quickly for an AT even though I did not push it very hard with this test drive just in case anything decided to let loose.
The new drilled and slotted alloy brake rotors and ceramic brake pads are a huge improvement over OEM. Braking stability and handling is shown by how little correction in the steering wheel was needed during the entire test. This car is now a "Keeper" and a lot of fun to drive as an everyday driver.

@Bergylicious1 This is a show car. Didn't do a full throttle run just after AT shift kit work. Went to 100 slowly. Check out the tach. Never hit the red line. Just a test run to see how fast it would shift and used video to see what happened if it it blew up. LOL.

My 86 4 spd seems quicker but not a lot. My 88 AT now shifts faster at red line than humanly possible with a 4 spd and hydro clutch. It never misses a shift! 140 hp isn't much but stock Fiero's can be lots of fun.

Sorry if I offended you. You must be a "drag" racer.

This video was an AT test for a car that was going to run at Watkins Glenn, not drag race. I needed to know if the car would shift properly to be hammered on a road course and still do at least 100 mph. Did I not say "Slow Run up to 100 mph" Find this video on You Tube.... 'Fiero's at the Glenn 2011..." It is the same car you are bashing but might enjoy this video more. Fiero's are not fast cars, but very quick handling cars.

Coming Soon, 88 Fiero GT Test Drive to 120+ MPH. in Stock Form. Speed will be logged by GPS for accuracy so there will be no doubt what the actual top speed of this car will be on a closed 2 mile road.  Hoping for 125 MPH + but will find out as soon as my favorite test road becomes available around mid April, 2011

Oh and alsome car it will get up and go for a v6

[scrappy452]

A crx will never do 0 to 200 in 5 sec.. I hate ricer people my fully built and bored to a 1000cc stretched zx9 will do that about 7 sec.

[buttmanroad]

That was cool. You Know your gonna get crapp from the Rice Burner crowd. They Will tell you that the Crx can do 0 to 200 in five seconds.

There is no question the Fiero GT's automatic kills the power. I own two 5 speed 88 GT's, Nothing can kill the car's sharp looks though! :)
