Think Madcurl... think. Any Fiero with any body and any engine creates a demand for parts that support the Fiero world. But I'm not surprised that you don't see that.
The answer to the rest of your questions are equally obvious. You're not confusing nor convincing anyone with your brand of logic.
More irony from you:

Tonys car was parked next to my van last night. What an incredibly great looking Fiero. I love everything about his car, from the fabulous original paint to the tasteful modifications he's done. Everything works. I know that he gets many appreciative glances in his car for sure. I'm still amazed that a car 25 years old not only looks current, but in my opinion actually looks way better than 99% or more of the new cars. I truly appreciate that a Fiero owner of this caliber likes my car too. There have been many smiles brought to the faces of people who see my car and it is a major highlight of driving a car that a lot of people never expected to see in this neck of the woods, but 85SEnochies obvious enjoyment is the highlight. I enjoyed his enjoyment every bit as much as he did. See, it is entirely possible to be a Fiero fan and a rebody fan.[This message has been edited by dratts (edited 10-22-2012).]

Wishful thinking on your part. Any business with any common sense knows where the bulk of their business comes from. To assume that the replica customers would carry the weight off the business is backwards thinking, especially since the majority of transversely mounted engines are mounted in regular Fiero's & not longitutionaly.
Most Fiero owners knew what they wanted-a Fiero with more HP and better suspension. No need for a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Most replica owners knew how to not cut corners thus a exact replica and not the watered down version we now witness. However, I digress. The kit car industry is dead because of their failed attempts at watering down the copy.[This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 10-22-2012).]

I said it at the beginning of this thread.... Kit cars are the best and worse thing to ever happen to the Fiero. To each their own, but you are crazy if you think we'd have all the support, custom parts, swaps etc w/o the kit car industry (good). But now there are far less Fieros out there and the whole stigma surrounding our cars isnt all that great (bad). If I get asked if I am going to put a kit on my Fiero one more time, someone is getting socked right in the face! LOL [This message has been edited by BV MotorSports (edited 10-22-2012).]

Learn to read. Archie, a current major mainstay businessman in the Fiero customization world who designed most of what you take for granted on your car said that:
| quote | Originally posted by Archie:
If it wasn't for the products, methods & vendors that grew to support the Fiero based Kit car/rebody industry, many of these products, methods & vendors wouldn't be around today to support the Fiero customizations that you are seeing a lot of now-a-days. |

So for someone who likes to read into things as much as you do, try reading between his lines and contemplating his meaning the next time you enjoy driving or showing off your V8 powered, chop-topped, Mad Arch bodied car. Then, once you wrap your head around the tense of the verbs he used if you still think he's backwards-thinking, perhaps you can share your first hand experience regarding how you know better than Archie about the progeny of the modifications embodied on your car by him.

I was there in the beginning & I remember how the Fiero chassis & the kit car industry both flourished together because each of them happened when & how they did. The Kit car industry needed a new donor car of the future & the venders who serviced the needs of the Kit car industry back then are the key to wide following the Fiero has today. |

Now, shall we have fun disecting the rest of your last post? What does this next statement have to do with anything other than to change the subject, and muddy the waters (not to mention display more of your impeccable spelling):

And then this:

For a guy who prides himself in "designing" how and where to place a vent on a car, or choosing the biggest wheel, who then posts the same pictures of the scoop or wheel from ten angles in ten different threads on the same forum, I'm guessing you haven't a clue what it takes to design more horsepower and a better suspension. Apart from your suitably vague profile, all we know for sure is that you're not an English teacher... though I would bet my life that you're no rocket scientist either.
(edited to add: You should go back to posting pictures of the absolute worst kit cars you can find on the internet... you may find it easier to defend your point of view.)[This message has been edited by Bloozberry (edited 10-23-2012).]

The rocket scientist is going to reply how he is right AGAIN - but Blooze keep fighting the Bully.
" who then posts the same pictures of the scoop or wheel from ten angles in ten different threads"
= So true[This message has been edited by ferrobi (edited 10-23-2012).]

I see you finally realized that owning a real Ferrari 355 is cheaper Then owning a fake replica.

So what you're saying is my three N. stars are directly related to the Ferrari Lamborghini kit car industry right? I need to call design one system for clarification
