And one for the book of oddities - Finiero
Yes - it is different. I thought it was ugly the first time I saw it and it has grown on me - like bright green mold...
Here is the list of mods and a few photos: Car: Finiero 1984 Fiero notchback - modified body/interior/engine Waldorf, MD Drivetrain Mods: New Chevy 350 LM1 crate engine mated to stock 4-speed Edelbrock Torker II intake Edelbrock 600 CFM Carb Custom dual exhaust through Silver Bullet mufflers 4-core radiator High performance starter Racing clutch Remote oil filter (No track times until the new racing clutch and engine are broken in and a new frame is installed - yes, a new frame!) Interior Mods Nordskog Digital Dash – tracks ¼ mile, top speed and 0-60 times Custom dash, door, console and firewall kit Mr. Mike's leather seats Custom carpet with steel diamond tread inserts Green racing pedals accented with green floor/overhead lights Green leather-wrapped steering wheel Pioneer head unit and speakers with 10” sub on center console Power windows and locks Remote keyless entry and alarm Exterior Mods Paint – “Sublime” green V8 Archie’s “Fino” body kit designed by Peter Ashdown 16” American Racing Estrella wheels Kumho Z-rated tires – 225/45/16 front, 245/45/16 rear    I don't expect any awards. The great conversations at traffic lights are more than enough for me and the Finiero. I have more photos at www.finiero.com  Last edited by Finiero : 05-05-2006 at 12:58 AM.

It's like Lotus meets VR4 meets Bug.
I'm gonna give you my thumbs up though. It's interesting especially with the crate motor in it. What kind of numbers/times do you THINK you're at?

Very unique. How do you work on the engine? Do you need scaffolding? lol

That's kinda cool looking. Like a Solstice and a Lotus love child. And the 350 must be bad ass in that. Good luck with it!

Thanks for the comments. Unique indeed! I have a conversation with someone at every traffic light, it seems.
Yes - it is a blast to drive. The engine is just torq-ee right now being out of the box. It's not even broken in yet. The clutch needs a few more miles on it before it gets pushed hard, but it sounds MEAN! I think it only pushes 220hp tops but the torque should be higher. I can't wait to get it to the track. Like any other Fiero, simple engine things can be done from above, but serious repairs (clutch, oil pan and etc) are better done with a cradle drop. I just bought a T-top frame with A/C so I will be moving everything over soon - for a better look and a cooler ride. Thanks again!

yeah, that thing is HOT, but for safety's sake, PLEASE dont hit any stationary objects with it (walls, cars, etc.) cuz you'd be wearing that SBC in your spine :)

I'll avoid the walls and large pedestrians just to keep the spark plugs out of my rear end.
Actually, the Fiero did better than most in crash tests, but I am sure the seatbelt and steering wheel would not feel good if the car made a sudden stop against a slow- (or non-) moving object!
