I do like the way you have stretched the fram, looks nicely done. Something I always thought about the fiero was that it wasnt quite long enough in the wheelbase, I bet its going to improve in handling a little as well

The extra 12" is to accommodate the engine/transaxle which will be mounted longitudinally. Stay tuned.

OK then... when putting massive amounts of power into a stock Fiero setup, transmissions are notorious for breaking under high HP/TQ stresses. On the other hand, the porsche transaxle setup (which is built longitudially - front to back) is a proven high power setup. So in order to accomodate this kind of installation (N* + Porsche Transaxle), the chassis (specifically the engine-bay) must be stretched to fit.
Does that make a bit more sense then?

Agreed, but a reason might be warranted
...because the Caddy & Toronado trannies weigh a ton, and are all automatics! The Porsche is a 5 speed manual and is comparatively light.
Oh yeah, and 'cause no one has ever done it like this before

When I saw the early pic's, I thought it was going to be a pickup, much like the VW pickup
