If you could strip down a fiero to the bare minimums, put in any engine / turbo / sc, performance parts, race tires, ecm, etc. How fast could you get a fiero in the 1-60 and 1/4?

List your engine choices, mods, and why you estimate this time?

Why?
Throw it all away. Make a stretched 'glass lookalike body and a custom tube chassis and big V-8. It'll go as fast as any other funny car.

Cus I want to know what you can do with a fiero! haven't you ever seen monster garage! no cheating :P

Check out the 1/4 thread to see what actual members are running and their set ups.

bah - who needs motor - shoot it out of a slingshot!
or maybe solid propellant? I love that stuff

Define cheating. Your idea of what is and is not cheating will decide the limits of what you can do.

If all you want is a quarter mile car, 10 seconds is easily reachable with a race-only Fiero. I would imagine 8-9's are also possible, still keeping the transverse engine layout. You'll probably only get a pass or two on the transmission, but you didn't specify reliability.

I would build a mosnter 4x4 Fiero and crush MR2's with it!

This post went right down the tube lol. Fastest 1/4 mile time keeping the midengine layout. surely 3800SC isn't the top

well i think what he is saying is any set up front/mid engine anytranny just as long as you use the fiero frame body. i personaly dont know what the build would be but i would love to put a sbc 302 mid engine

If you found my advice helpful, please take the time to give me a positive rating. Thanks

I think some people are missing the purpose of the mid-engine concept.....NOT to be a dragster....but to be able to out corner any thing on the road that has a front mounted engine. (I bet this thread will break all HELL LOOSE!) I just could not take it any longer! If you want a dragster go get a firebird or a camero or a vette...they DON'T corner or handle like a mid-engine car....and yes, put a large engine in a fiero or mr2 and it will be faster, but at the same time loose some of its cornering ability! The more the weight distribution gets off from 50/50 the more corning agility you will loose!...I frequently run cameros and other large horsepower cars over mountain roads and they out run me in the straightaways, but I can pass them in turns because I can speed up going into sharpe turns while they are having to apply brakes to slow down in turns to keep from loosing control. You and I can speed-up going into and around turns (If You know how to drive a fiero) while they have to slow down...It frustrates the HELL out of them, but they have no choice....or they will go off the mountain after their front-engine cars sling them around the corners....SORRY I coud not take this dragster mentallity anymore! I do not mean to offend anyone, especially any fiero driver......THANKS, GARY
