If my car doesn't work out, I will definitely look for a Fiero, I always thought they were sick little cars...
However, if my dad sees it he'll want to make it a full electric car, which could be interesting

I've seen a school kit car done with a fiero chassis and a tdi built. It was pushin close to 250 hp/450 tq the last I heard. A TDI in a Mid engine format could possibly go up to the 300 hp range with some good tuning and a well built turbo.
Plus think bout this... Diesels love boost + nos  mind numbing torque and good fuel milage not enough, just flip a switch and light that candle. 
btw, that car took tons of awards for handling, mileage, endurance, AND power

Nice job. I saw GT in your name and was like oh noes, Jon went for an unsupported platform!?!?
I was pleased after clicking the thread.
Good job, hope that thing comes out straight for you! L67 swappy?

Still not going to stop me from trying to persuade Jon :p
These videos were also grouped with it...

99% sure it's going to be an L67. Still looking for a good reason to put in a 660 from John, though...

My love cannot power the Fiero. You know my requirements: dyno #'s and total price.

I need charts so I can see the curve. 250WHP means nothing to me if it all comes in at the last 1k RPM.
