Wheels are worth more, even if they're Compmotive TS', Image F40's or just stty reps.

The aerial and the weird dimensions makes it look like a remote control toy. Even David Blunkett would be able to see that's not a Ferrari.

Sad really because a Fiero can be made into quite a reasonable looking 348 or 355 replica that many would believe to be genuine.

That looks how a 5 year old would have drawn an F40

It's so bad that I actually like it laugh. Take it as a joke and you could have a lot of fun with it.

Why couldn't they just leave it as a Fiero?.
Because they're st.

No, because they're st.
Why and how?

They (IMO) look great in stock trim. The latter GT with the buttresses looks sporty and fast even today. Although I'm more a fan of the notchback Formula model.

The V6 was pretty nippy in it's day offering up comparable performance to the supercharged MR2. And while they aren't the sharpest handling car in the world, they aren't exactly bad handlers either.

Not too mention pretty frugal on fuel, the 2.5 was rated at nearly 40mpg (US gallons) way back in 1984!

Fiberglass body and galvanized chassis mean no rust either. And the engine bay is big enough and designed to take either the latter 3.8 DOHC V6 or a SBC V8.

And Fieros get a lot of cool points for having pop-up headlights wink

About 6 months ago I saw an either fake or very badly repaired Trans-am at Leicester Forest services.

See fake Focus RSs all the time, some with the dead-give-away rear drums biggrin
