I have been researching on what my fiero's 0-60 times should/could be, I would like some help finding specific times as published in reviews, magazines, TV, and maybe even gm itself, specifically any year/model with the v6 and 4 speed manual. I know of a few of them, and would like to figure out an average 0-60 time when new. Also might be helpful for people to post their own personal best 0-60 time, like I said though, specifically for the v6 4 speeds. Any results from the 80s posted here should have a link or picture to the original, maybe with a brief overview with who did the test, what the time was and year/model, that way we can find an average without duplicates, and see how our cars compare to that today. Thanks!

I know this isn't what you've asked for... but the 0-60 time for a Fiero with a duke and 3-spd auto is about a week and a half.

Haha, I've experienced the "experience" of an automatic Duke, not as bad as expected, but still dreadfully slow.

0-60 mph isn't easy for the average car guy to measure...

Quarter mile times are much more widespread, since all one has to do is go to a dragstrip and read the timeslip.

Yeah, apps on a phone can easily measure that, using GPS speed, that's what I'm using, although that part of my post is less important, as I am mostly looking for published measurements when the Fiero was new.

I have the Brooklands books Fiero Performance Portfolio....It has numerous tests by MT, R&T and CD.....This is an excellent reference for Fiero owners.

Here is a graphic I did listing performance info and which magazine and dates;
