Yes it is fun to watch. Every now and then one will come around the hood and stare for awhile until their brain kicks in and then they wander off embarrassed or look at the rear and say oh yea. But most of the time it brings back memories of when they or someone they knew had one.
It was comical. The people would stop. lean in to get a closer look, walk around to the other side and look again. The best I could come up with when they asked was an "Emergency Standby Windsheild Washer Pump" and I beleive some even bought it.

That looks like Leonard, the Nitrous Mouse Motor. Leonard traveled in over 40 states in Phil's Formula with the SC3800 on 11 Hot Rod Power Tours and in my 88 T-top Coupe on two. Where ever we travel in a Fiero, Leonard rides up front. Can't count the number of people who stop to take a picture and leave smiling. Phil sold the Formula in December so Leonard's home is in my T-top permanently now.

I have a picture of him somewhere, from when you guys were in Missouri at the Grand Glaize bridge hotel quite a while ago.

Get a piece of posterboard and cut it to fit over the entire front bay from all 4 sides. Then get a local print shop to print out full size photo of the engine compartment of something like a 69 Dodge 426 Hemi, and stick it to the board. Then leave your hood open at the shows.
I had an incident this past weekend while attending a car show in Kalama, Washington. Had my 84-3.8 SC car with the rear hatch open when a gentleman walked up and asked(while looking at the motor) "Nice car, What's it got?" I said a "V6 supercharged from a GTP" He said "Open the hood- let's see it!" I was a little taken aback, so I said "No no, there's no motor under the hood, this is mid engined." He said "Oh, I'm just learning about these cars." So I guess you guys are correct that we need something for the traditionalists to look at in that front compartment!
I got to get this hamster setup with nitro injection and maybe in ninja garb. I just wish the Fiero would get the attention they deserve at car shows. The judge today was spending 2 to 3 minutes looking over each car, checking the interior, paint, engine and sometimes looking under them. When he got to my 88 which is in great shape he paused about 8 seconds then moved on not even coming to the back to check the engine. I just don't get it.
I had my stock 88 coupe at Car Craft summer nationals this summer and I got way more looks than my buddies slightly built 87 Trans am GTA, I even heard people pointing my car out of a crowd while driving around. I was quite surprised considering all the insane cars at the show.
I love that weed wacker !!! Off topic thou... How do you draw lines on pics or arrows ??
I usually just save the pic and use MS paint to edit and save then repost it to Pennocks.
I know my 88 does not have a problem getting attention since it is almost always the only Fiero at shows. It just seems muscle car enthusiasts don't conceder it in the same class.

I remember that very nice yellow Formula from the Fieros In New England show back in 2002, I have a couple of pictures of Leonard and several pictures of the yellow formula at the show and during the drive after the show.
