Just wondering because of the amount of mods, cutting/stretching, engine swaps, body kits etc. that folks do to their cars, at what point does it stop being a Fiero? Not meant to start a flame fest. Just genuinely curious on everybody’s opinions on this. [This message has been edited by Red98422 (edited 10-02-2018).]

The only way you can lose the "Fiero" name is to lose this:

Yeah I’d say when it’s crushed, melted down and formed into something else. ------------------

The heart of the Fiero is it's unique spaceframe design.

In my opinion, first and foremost, if you strip the Fiero of its visual appearance, then you took away most of the personality of the car. What do most people know the Fiero from? That unusual little plastic mid engine sports car that Pontiac made.
Engine mods are OK. Most evey car of interest involves that. Lambo, Ferrari, and other kits may look good, but then most all of the character the car was designed to have has been striped away.
Read most of the first time Fiero owners posts on here. Someone saw a Fiero, or knew of someone who had one, and just had to have one of their own. The Pontiac Fiero….neet little sports car right out of the box, wouldn't you say ?

What happens when someone puts and engine in the front though? I would be pretty hard pressed to call that a fiero

I doubt that ever happened RED. And if anybody ever did go thru the trouble to do something like that, I think they should be put away, if you know what I mean : )
I think there may have been 1 or 2 drag cars back in the day that were converted to front engine racers, but I pay little attention to something that completely ruins the original design of our beloved little car.
