Mid Engines are the SAIX.
 
if you haven't driven a Ferrari or a FIERO in the snow, you are missing out.

got back home fom a concert in NYC pretty late only to discover that there was about 4 inches of fresh snow on the ground, no roads plowed. my friends asked if i just would rather have them drop me off at home, but my car was at my friends house, and i just wanted to get it home. They asked over and over if i was sure, and yes, i was.

RWD + snow = the suxor, but RWD + Mid Engine + snow= equals the sexiest beast on the road in the snow. The car handles EXCEPTIONALLY well for RWD, it didn't step out on me at all. Fabulous handing. A lot may just have to do with the fact that I'm confident driving in the snow and I know how to, (thanks Dad) but other than that, if you're gonna have a sports car on the road in the snow, the fiero is a good choice, i must say.

*** AND thanks to my mother, and to James' advice in the frozen door-lock thread, heating my key up was like, an instant fix and instant entry. Amazing.

lol, ive noticed fieros, i have looked at buying a few GT6 cars but prices can get up there. I will own one some day, and probably do a 3.8 grand national turbo motor swap(or some v12 engine) with a custom body. I may even do a lambo kit car but it would be a very clean version with the stretched frame and all. I rarely see any fieros on the roads anymroe around here.

:shock:

she's not kidding!

GP99GT 01-15-2006 09:56 AM

your fiero needs more L67

and SmokinSS, why a GN motor? the FWD 3.8 S/C will drop right in basically, using the same trans and everything...and it can be turboed ;)

BigAls87Z28 01-15-2006 11:42 AM

Its times like this and weather like this that I enjoy remote start and keyless entry...ah, technology.

WayFast84 01-15-2006 11:49 AM

hmmm Ive always wanted a black feiro I like the idea of the gn swap!

nj85z28 01-15-2006 04:42 PM

i keep the diablo and the f50 in the garage mostly during the winter...

jims69camaro 01-15-2006 08:23 PM

i bought an SE back in '88, it was an '86. it developed the exhaust problem, so i traded it in on my formula. it was a cute little car but way underpowered. the body kits were just starting to become popular (and expensive). anyway, i owned an '84 4 cylinder in '94. it was an insurance piece, that fell off the lift at the mechanic's and broke the body in four places. perfect candidate for a body kit. if it hadn't been for the township where i lived and their anality, i probably would've done something with it. they charged me with an abandoned vehicle (no plates on it) and that pissed me off enough to get rid of it. strike two. i don't foresee another one in my future, but i'll never say never.
