I dont have the specs for the Fiero but I can tell you that the Fiat X19 handles much better

The Fiat is lighter but it also is underpowered, compared to a V6 Fiero. They also are known for having a lot of mechanical problems. The cool part is that the car has a removable roof.

By the specs, I'd say it's almost even, but slightly slower than my 84 SE Auto BUT looks like it might go farther on a tank of gas?
