Yet another broken promise.
Oops you caught me! Yeah that's where I found the picture too. Maybe a bit more research on your part would have had you post this from the website too: (you made it about the car, not me). Hey, it's the internet, just kickin' the legs out...

Fiero facts

Performance

The V6 Fiero hit .84-.86g on the skidpad (4 cylinder was roughly .80-82g)

- Porsche 911 Carrera -> .85g (the Carrera 4 was at .83g)
- Ferrari Testarossa -> .84g
- Lotus Esprit Turbo -> .86g
- Lamborghini Diablo VT -> .87g
- Acura NSX -> .87g
- Acura Integra GS-R -> .82g
- Pontiac Firebird Trans Am/Formula (’93+) -> .82g-.85g
- Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX -> .86g

The Fiero ran the slalom at 63.4-63.9 mph (about 61.5 for 4 cylinder models)

- Pontiac Firebird Trans Am -> 59.7 mph
- Lotus Epsrit S4 -> 60.6 mph
- Porsche 911 Carrera -> 61.9 mph
- BMW M3 -> 62.8 mph
- Corvette ZR-1 -> 63.6 mph
- Ferrari 348 -> 62.8 mph
- Acura NSX -> 62.3 mph
- Dodge Viper -> 62.7 mph
- Ford Mustang Cobra (1994) -> 61.1 mph
- Nissan 300ZX Turbo -> 63.0 mph

The V6 Fiero consistantly accelerated from 0-30 in 2.2 seconds- The Lamborghini Diablo manages 0-30 in 2.2 seconds.

Best quarter mile time for a stock V6 Fiero: 14.7 @ 92 mph. Worst: 17.0 @ 80 mph. Both Fieros were GT’s with manual transmissions.

Best top speed for a stock V6 Fiero: 135 mph. Worst: 115 mph. Both Fieros were ‘85 GT’s, the latter with an automatic transmission.


BTW none of the crap you've posted has countered my original position that the Fireo and the Z1 are both Monocoque-frame, Bolt-on Plastic-Paneled cars. BMW infers the concept was some great achievement on thier part, when GM came up with the idea in the 1970's and sold a mass-production car using the technology starting in 1983 (the first Z1 was delivered in 1989). GM then started a new car company with the technology, and also developed and sold a minivan using the same space-frame technology. BMW built 8,000 hand-built units. Wooptie -F'n- doo.

A little more research on your part and you'd have found that GE Plastics out of Pittsfield Mass. developed and produced most of the Z1 body panels...

But I digress...

And this pic of the fasionable late '70s Fiero designers!
