I don't know how to put the video online though so csan i mail it to someone that can? this tuesday is the races. i can have my friend film it. 2who can upload tapes onto computers? also if u live anywhere in southern cali i would love to race you if u want. no matter what u drive. even if its a corvvette i know i can't beat one but its fun to race none the less.
I would love to see you beat my 5.0, theres no-way in hell that you would beat me, thats like saying a escort can beat a vette---its not possible.(unless the driver of the vette is a complete moron. If neons were so 'Fast' why wouldnt you here about them, and see a lots of performance parts. Whoever you beat in the stang is a complete moron and doesnt know how to drive or youre full of **** !

I feel compelled to say this. I own a Mustang(350hp 302), Fiero, and a Neon (as well as a 87 firebird and a Expedition). Depending on the year a Neon could hang with a 5.0 (not sure about winning). Unmodified 5.0. A Neon with a turbo would absolutely waste a mustang or fiero. My Fiero is just about even with the neon, both automatics. This only applies to 95/96 neons as they only wieghed 2500lbs (as opposed to the fiero at 2700). Later cars weigh more and are just not as fast. There are many performance parts for the neon. Mostly suspension though. Autox is the neons event. Ask any of the Xers on here. Those neons are usually on top at the end of the season. Do some research on the internet.

True a TURBO neon would keep up and probably win against a 5.0 or fiero, but trevors aint a turbo from the pic he showed us so theres no way he would beat a 5.0 with a good driver. Its not that i have anything against neons or riceburners in fact that i like the way they look ecpically the talons/eclipse's, but the reason i hate most of them is because they go around saying there stock car with a body kit can waste anything on the block and in fact there slow as &*%^. So trevor i wont think you car can beat anything til i see some pics of the turbo neon.?????????
Sorry if i sound like im being a complete A$$ its just that im sick of ppl going around saying there fiero/neon can waste a stang anyday, i relize that it is a fiero forum and just about everyone on here hates ford as i do to, but theres really no comparison, V6 vs. V8 or I-4 vs. V8, common sense! But when you throw a turbo on aither of the I-4 or V6 then the rules change, if it sounds like im being an A$$ its because i just had 2 more teeth pulled out this afternoon, and the vikidine is feeling pretty good just to let you know i would take a fiero over a stang anyday its just that my parents wouldnt let me get another one, so i had few options then i ran across a good condition stang, and even though i dont like stangs im a fan of any nice sports car>

Dude , hate to burst your bubble , but your mustang is 160Hp version (carb'd) it runs high 15's in the 1/4. A v6 Fiero with a 4spd would be quicker.
Now I wouldn't go trying to race it with a 4cyl Fiero , but it's not that fast , espically since we have forum members who run low 15's on stock motors. MY 86 GT is Faster than my moms 95 5.0ltr, as is our LT1 Caprice (by a wide Margin)
just some food for thought.

Geez, I wish I wasn't on the east coast. I can't wait to read/see this in the morning. Think of all the west coast Mustangs simply trembling at the thought of Neons kicking their butts tonight. It boggles the mind...
And I did drive a Neon once. Got one as a rental car. It wasn't so bad...

Trevor, Good Luck at the races. I've seen many Neons surprise a car or two. Your intake mods and exhaust could tip the weight/power scale in your favor. Do it! Make those Rustangs Cry
No, a Fiero gt would NOT beat a 5.0, doesn't matter what year. I hate to burst all your bubbles, but a Fiero isn't exactly a fast car, nor does it take corners that well! Sheesh
A 5.0 from 87-93 would most likely take a fiero in a straight line. It just makes sense v8 engine=more torque. But I have to say that alot of older 5.0s without mods would loose to a fiero gt anyday. Look at the numbers and you'll see. As far as handling goes please. Look at the #s. Check out this link and you'll find that the 94 gt has the same skidpad results as an 86 fiero gt http://www.supercars.net/cars/1994@$Ford@$Mustang%20GT.html Not to mention the 94 handled alot better than the fox bodies. The late model mustangs have respectable times but they are lacking on the skid pad. http://www.supercars.net/cars/2000@$Ford@$Mustang%20GT%20Convertible.html

What a load of crap... For starters this thread is about cutting turbo boy down to reality
secondly stock mustangs arent supercars either
Thirdly find me a mustang that can outhandle a fiero of similar condition and mods
I forgot to mention that I also like mustangs. I have test driven many fox bodied gts with the intent to buy. The reason that I decided against a fox body was because it handled alot worse than my previous fiero coupe. Of course they have more power but they don't have that much style. The 5.0 is best suited to be a modded drag car. Which it does a really good job at. I'm now very much pleased with my low mileage 86 fiero gt.
Ok Just got back. some guy got busted before i got to race him or anyone else the cops floded in and impouned his car cuss he has no license. and everyone sorta split up. I got a video of me racing a truck.and a integra and doing a bunch of burnout and running from security in the industreal area. its still a dope video. the mustang video's I will get tell next tuesday. so don't say im ****ing lieing ull have them. Its sorta hard when the cops bust in though. u guys can watch this video untell I can get to race the stangs. but i got a video of me dusting a integra and some sorta truck and a security officer, Untell then. and im not gonna list the cars i beat so far u guys can see for urselves instead of calling me a ****ing lier. so watch them. where do i send this nights tape?

This menas you think the fiero will take a neon in handleing? Once again I point you to the AutoX standings. There are probably 20 guys on this board that actually do autoX and are more then willing to tell you the neons dominate.

Aw geez. I didn't know we were street racing (LOOK OUT - kittens!). I thought you were going to take it to the track. I had a 6 pack bet with a guy here that you wouldn't break 15.5. Fudge! And I like winning free beer...
This just got a lot less interesting for me...

AH_HAHAHAHAH STFU......you dont know what the HELL you are talking about. A NEON outhandle a FIERO ........LOL......your dumb dude.....sorry.....i wish there was a smiley for"dumbass"
Haha.. Performance... I don't know where you guys got the idea that Fieros are gods at handling. Just because they have a mid engine, doesn't mean they handle good! First of all, a front engine rear drive is better for 50/50.. Have you guys SEEN the weight dist. on a fiero.. It's terrible.. I'd actually have to go with the neon, stock for stock..

Johnnykat, do you not realize what the weight dist of a mid engine car is supposed to be? Try 45/55. Guess where our little 2-seaters are? Have you got some other theorem of handeling/weight bias that I need to disprove?
here--(copy/pasted from the v8 vs v6 thread going on in the general section.) From Pontiaddict: "Adding the v8 and not changing anything else changes the weight distribution to 42/58 (that's if I did my math right and if the GM quoted 45/55 distribution is correct.)
...especially when you compare it to other mid/rear engined cars. NSX 41/59 360 modena 43/57 Reynard 02I champ car 43/57 mr2 spyder 44/56 Lamborghini Murciélago 42/58"
GM strived to obtain the magic mid-engine ratio and hit it exactly on the mark. If you can't drive your car well enough, then get some dollars and spend a few hours at the track. If you still don't like your Fiero... run right out and get that neon. You deserve it.
-edit- to add qoute from Pontiaddict

Dumb? Hmm maybe my IQ of 153 is dumb.........
Like I said I own a fiero and a neon. The neons used in autox will out handle and accellarate of corners better then a fiero. Throw your question up in general. I guarantee that you will get responses from AutoXers about that. How do i know? I have seen it in person, and I have read it on this board 100 times.

There are more, just dont have time to read them. Trust me, i aint saying neons are super cars. They do well in autocross. But only in thier class. The Fiero only won the division 1 time in the last 10 years I think. Dont forget to ask about that.
