@FrankinFurby ur a fag

@3O2MuStAnG Theres not a good enough tranny to run a V8. A G6 or even a Toronado transaxle is not good enough. Then its all about power to weight which on average a V8 gains more weight on a Fiero like 300lbs or more depending if you go big block or small block not including all the chassis modifications needed which adds more weight.

[3O2MuStAnG]

@vfIskullangel I mean yeaaaah the short wheelbase isn´t really a pro and neither is the fiero´s thin body which doesn´t allow to put some proper tires on it (let alone 340mm tires which koenigseggs are equipped with). the suspension however can be modified easily and with a built automatic it will easier hook up than those manual cars as well. and at the end it´s still got those +5% on the rear axle which might help on the traction as well especially since it develops less power at more weight

[3O2MuStAnG]

@vfIskullangel how´s that when it´s got like 60% of its total weight on the rear axle (with a V8 like this) ? basically it´s got even more of the total weight on the rear axle than a Koenigsegg CCR (which is able to put 800+hp to the ground @ 1100kg @ 55% on the rear axle). so why shouldn´t this thing be able to put 200hp less to the ground @ 200 more kg weight @ more weight on the rear axle ? doesn´t make too much sense to me

[vfIskullangel]

@3O2MuStAnG If you can't put the power down it won't matter whats under the hood which is the biggest problem with these Fieros with V8s in em.

[3O2MuStAnG]

@FredsukzBalls so let´s get this straight. you think a 1300kg light car (barely 200kg heavier than a civic) with a V8 near the rear axle developing 600+hp is slow ? no matter wether it´s got a manual or an automatic transmission - THIS THING WILL OUTLAUNCH ALL WHEEL DRIVEN CARS AND OUTACCELERATE SUPERBIKES. if you think that´s slow you´ve some serious issues or you´re just plain jealous.
