Good stuff. They've definitely improved Top Gear over the years.

Nice vid, now I need to download it.

albertgunit101 · 02-27-2008, 06:19 PM

^^ All you need to do is look at the two and you know which is superior.

Fiero's are pretty good for kit cars and such, but unless you are going to go Northstar V8, I can't see another reason to go with a Fiero instead of an MR2. I may just buy a Fiero GT one day just so I can drop a Northstar V8 in it as a project.

your welcome.

albertgunit101 · 02-27-2008, 06:27 PM

fiero looks very ugly in my opinion. but that is just me.

phzoinkMKII · 02-27-2008, 06:38 PM

My brother in law had one and it caught on fire. Best thing to ever happen to it.

wagonis · 02-27-2008, 06:39 PM

This is the only one that I would like to get for the project:

Massive fix

wagonis · 02-27-2008, 07:19 PM

Much better then the dull design prior to that body style. From what I heard is that you could actually take off the fastback panels and ground effects...since that was the BIG difference. But still, this Fiero GT + nicer wheels + Northstar V8 = fun!

phzoinkMKII · 02-27-2008, 07:23 PM

Don't use the F word so loosely. Although that might make the car better.

David · 02-27-2008, 07:37 PM

It's funny that at the end of the first vid. when they're talking about the mr2's faults, they're more like advantages.
No ABS- greater connection w/ the road.
Loud engine- Nice
No catalytic converter- One less part to break :P

Raptor13x · 02-27-2008, 09:44 PM

There's nothing wrong with the Fiero that couldn't be fixed by completely changing everything on the car.

I actually like the fastback-style Fieros, though the handling is embarrassingly poor for a mid-engined sports car, and they have the single ugliest interior in the whole of automotive history.

yeah, i thought that part with a little funny too...i was interested to see what they had bad to say, it was kinda relieving to hear those were their only complaints.
