Btw... every other car on Maui is either a Camaro or a Mustang. Mostly all rentals. The odd part is that there's a mix between SS and v6 Camaros, but all of the Mustangs are of v6 trim. Haven't seen one 5.0 here. Saw one GT500 on Oahu.

We rented a 4 door hardtop Jeep. I'd never own one, but it was win for here. I drove the road to Hana. Then I ignored the rental company rules and drove the southern side road back. I made Maui my bitch.

I'd be about $50,000 richer if it had looked like that from the beginning.


So what can the Pittsburgh experts tell me about Fiero GT's?

That they are considered one of the Top 10 worst cars ever per MSN. Autoblog had them as one of the worst cars ever built.

Buddy of mine had one. The motor is undersized (which is why most of them have to throw small displacement V8s into them), handles like a brick, and IMO overall an ugly attempt at a italian sports car.

You could do much better

100-year-old driver hits 11 near LA school
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The screams of women and children didn't cause a 100-year-old driver to stop as he backed his large powder blue Cadillac onto a sidewalk across from an elementary school and hit 11 people, including nine children.
So people began pounding on his windows screaming for him to stop, a witness said.
Alma Solache said she was buying her children an afterschool snack Wednesday just before the accident outside a South Los Angeles school.
"He was not paying attention," said Solache, 24, adding that it was at least two or three seconds before the vehicle halted and people began pulling children out from beneath the car.
Four of the children were in critical condition when firefighters arrived but they were stabilized and were in serious condition at a hospital, city fire Capt. Jaime Moore said. Everyone was expected to survive, he said.
Children's backpacks, shoes, candy and loose change were strewn about the scene behind a discount grocery store across from Main Street Elementary.
Police said the driver, Preston Carter, was being very cooperative and drugs or alcohol were not a factor in the crash.
Carter talked to television reporters after the crash some five miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles. He said he has a driver's license and will be 101 years old Sept. 5.
"My brakes failed. It was out of control," Carter told KCAL-TV.
Asked about hitting the children, Preston said: "You know I'm sorry about that. I wouldn't do that for nothing on earth. My sympathies for them."
Carter was pulling out of the grocery store parking lot, but instead of backing into the street, he backed onto the sidewalk, police Capt. George Rodriguez said.
"I think it was a miscalculation on his part. The gentleman is elderly," Rodriguez said. "Obviously he is going to have some impairment on his decision making."
Elderly drivers have been involved in other tragedies. In 2003, an 86-year-old man mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal of his car instead of the brake and then panicked, plowing into an open-air market in Santa Monica. Ten people were killed and 63 injured.
According to California's Department of Motor Vehicles, people over age 70 must renew their driver's license in person, rather than via the Internet or by mail. Older drivers can also be required to take a supplemental driving test if they fail a vision exam, or if a police officer, a physician, or a family member raises questions about their ability to drive.
Rodriguez said the collision was being investigated as an accident, and Carter was not under arrest. He has a valid driver's license, Rodriguez said.

What should be the maximum age limit for Senior citizen's to drive? I apologize to the one's on here in advance no disrespect.

1988 is the year to get. Completely revised suspension. The 2.8 is anemic, but any 60* V6 will drop in its place. A lot of 3800 SC engines get dropped in as well.

TPI 305/350 conversions were popular "back in the day," but I'm sure there are many LS1 transplants running around.

I'd imagine the LS4 drivetrain is an easy swap considering it was made to sit sideways. Northstar conversions were popular because of this.

Most exotic kit cars are on a Fiero chassis.

Thats sad...

Thanks Demonspeed.

Swacer, in the 80's you could use a Fiero to run circles around a Camaro and they were also nimble enough to dodge parts rusting off of Datsons

this is making me crave for some fiero rocher candy...!!

I'm sure there was a chance. The Fiero is lighter, but can't make up for that motor. Also, doesn't matter how fast you are, you can't run away from ugly.
