Bring it and cash!

Well published times for the M-6 is around 11 to 12 seconds for the quater...(stock M6 is right at 12 seconds)
This is a list of fieros (none stock) that are faster than that
Quater mile times
There are some V-8s in there so yes a fiero can, but again that depends on the cars.[This message has been edited by Easy8 (edited 01-05-2020).]

Best 0-60 I can find for the M6 is 3.8 with 12 sec quater.. so 3.6 is in the ball park. Just keep in mind when you look at a 10 -11 second Fiero they are doing the same or better in the 0-60 times. I do not even want to talk about the 9 second fieros 0-60 times.

Any car can be made to go fast. Nothing unique or special about the Fiero in this regard... You can take a Honda Civic or Ford Pinto and stuff a big engine in it and make it fly
The comparison is apples to oranges. Probably not worth much of a discussion. Plus the BMW can also be further modified than factory stock....

I like this thread.
I worked NVH for Ford on several Job1 builds back in the late 1990's. Everyone that has been in my 1987 GT will tell you she is squeak and rattle free. And no, she will not out run a M6.

My fiero is 3000 pounds. Built sbc. 2800 stall, 3,42 gears, vet brakes ( so I can stall it and stop) It should be 400 hp. I can take off in any gear with the paddle shifter. I would not want to go that fast on the top end. But it realy gets out of the hole good. The time for my fiero in the drag times is a old time, years ago. The set up it has now is much better then that.

Outrun?
On the Nürenburg Ring?
Drag strip?
Tail of the Dragon?
Outrunning the cops in town?
Bonneville?
Banked test track?
I think I will go, overall, with the Beemer.

My buddy got a "Great deal" on a 2011 328....The battery died so he replaced it........Then he started getting all kinds of trouble codes and problems......Turns out, if you change the battery on newer Bummers, you have to go to the dealer and have them use a special module to tell the computer which battery you installed......The battery only cost $120....The visit to the dealer cost $350........ID-E-OT- ICK!
The germans love complication- it makes them look......So....Fist....EE......Kate.....Ted.........(I don't think the germans can SPELL the acronym K.I.S.S.)

Or he could have got the BMW equivalent of HP tuners and reset the codes himself. Or maybe the 15$ bluetooth OBD2 interface and an android tablet will work, I have never tried mine on anything other than my Fiero. There is a reason that old German cars are really cheap: most people end up paying a fortune for dealer service.
