I think the fiero is the best car to hot rod due to it seems to lend it self to what ever you can dream up . I have seen more thing done with this car then any mustang , firebird,camaro,vett or anything i can think of

I love my prostreetfiero and others i have seen. Fieros are grate cars to modify.

yes I have seen in photos every thing from front engine drag cars to stock 4 bangers with every type of body from stock to choped wide body . I cant and dont see any other modern day car that can say that especialy in the numbers that the fiero has been hot roded in some way

SO TRUE. And after watching Horsepower TV etc. - it seems everything they do is "buy a kit and bolt it on". EG: buying an Edelbrock S/C kit for a Mustang and bolting it on in an afternoon. No creativity there (someone has "done" the work for you). That's NOT "Hot Rodding" to me - that's just "installing bolt-on performance upgrades".

Meanwhile, with the Fiero, almost everything is "home grown". Sure, you may buy Archie's kit for example, BUT you still have a lot of your own work to do, to install a swap like that. Same with a 3800 S/C engine. And if you're doing anything else, you can really find that "you're on your own". Found that with my S/C GT and my SD4 Indy. Both are kinda "one offs".

I found that the performance shops here were totally lost (because it wasn't a Camaro, Mustang or Corvette) when I needed information/advice on anything.

The fiero has the spirit of hot roding going fast and customizng for less money. go get a 3800 sc or N* and adapt it in and there is not a whole big aftermaket backing just a few small guys like Archie and a few more

While I have a bias toward the Fiero, and I do hotrod my own Fiero, I must disagree.

The car most flexible in this regard is the Model T frame. The Model T has been rodded in the most diverse ways, and being front engine rear drive layout, has a far more diverse options available for the modifyer.

I should have said modern day car due to it is true that some of the real old cars are just as good if not better in some aspects .

I wanted an Acura NSX. There were some nice kits and mods being done to them, but the car is expensive for its specs.

Then I wanted a Toyota MR2. They are nice and can be a deadly street car, but I could not find a forums site or any body kits for them at the time. Also, the only thing I knew was you can put a northstar in it. However, the guy who did that had a lot of work to do in order to achieve that feat.

I saw a lot of pontiac fiero notchback models and i never liked them. Then I found out there was a GT version. I was sold. IMHO, they are great looking, rare (because I have only seen 2 in southern california! although i know there is more out there), and I found a nice forums website called pennocks. Very easy to read, friendly people, and lots of modifications being done to the fiero. I think without this site, I would never know what I could do with a fiero.

I think pennocks inspires people to do something different to "wow" everyone. From 3800sc, northstar, old gen sbc, LSX series, big blocks, 2 hayabusa motors (i hope that guy continues to do that n the future), vr6 motor, bmw v8, etc, this site has it all down!
