And........what they say????? too bad Porsches are really quite fast.....or I would talk a little smack....you know like our little horsey friends in Italy.....but Germans do not mess around....never have....probabally never will......Hey all MERA owners.....I found a article in some stuff the previous owner sent me and it has some wierd MERA production # speculation..comes from Pontiac Fiero Connection mag 3rd quarter July 1997 issue...its posted in my thread in the tech disscusion area titled "Mera owners in MI help"....check it out....interesting numbers...i must say.....I highlighted the # s cuz they were faint.....high estimate of over seas exports.....and it says i quote"......In 1988, 84 were built on Formula platforms and 6 were GT conversions"..... SIXX GT cars....wow besides the 1990 proto that is more than likely the rarest Fiero i have found anywhere?????
ohhh.....and are we all conformed in the thinking that a 1987 Fiero SE converted into a 1987 MERA is on a 1986 (according to the sticker on the door jamb) donor car????? also meaning that the elusive 1986 Mera prototype is on a 1985??? I get confused by that alot when reading e-bay replicar adds.....anyway, top of the morning to you all....later-
Daniel
back to youtube and FIERO X= Man that car is fast....10.8....1/4 mile.....i will be happy in the 11's....Bye...[This message has been edited by batousai666 (edited 10-28-2009).]

I suppose almost anything can be replaced or forged, but I'd think one's safer bet would be to rely on the VIN for the year of the car, rather than the door jamb sticker. More specifically, the 10th digit of the Fiero's 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) visible on the driver's side of the dashboard designates the model year:
- E = 1984
- F = 1985
- G = 1986
- H = 1987
- J = 1988
Also, when it comes time to get a title for the car, I wouldn't want to try convincing my local Department of Motor Vehicles that although the VIN says the car is a 1987, it's really a 1986 because of what it says on the door jamb sticker.

Here's a handy document to have. Note the information in the upper right--Mera Conversion, e.g. 8046, and the VIN.

Of course, a variable pitch torque converter throws sand in the works--so to speak. For the rest of us, hold your RPM and read MPH off your GPS. GPS is by its nature far more accurate in speed and direction than position. [This message has been edited by reholmes (edited 10-28-2009).]
