This was the Porsche (Poor-Sha) I always wanted. And the 928 because it's a v8. 928 and 968 my faves. I didn't care for the 911. Don't care how fast they are or what they're worth lol Money is sh!+ to me haha 😂

I have been in lust for the Pantera ever since the car dealership I had a part time job at in high school got one on a trade in 1973. I drove it a few times and it was amazing. Only thing was it had the heaviest clutch I’ve ever used.

I hate modern overpriced boring looking cars with all their clap trap non-sense! Can't GM bring this car back again even if it's not under a Pontiac name anymore! Keep the same exact looks! It's beautiful looking the way it is in all it's 80's style glory! perhaps just upgrade the engine a little to a V6 with more power. Keep it a simple reliable engine though! The idea is elegant simplicity! Don't deck it out in such a way with all this modern tech so only the wealthy can afford one! The Every-Day commuting man needs a sweet affordable daily driver again they can be proud of and have some fun! Keep the dam screens out of it and just make it fun and simple! There's a huge market not being served right now of working class people that just want a fun reliable affordable awesome looking gasoline powered fun inspiring car that won't break the bank! Bring back the Fiero! I'd buy one in a heartbeat!

I had a grey market 1985 M635csi back in the late 90's. 286 HP and 400 lbs. lighter than the US M6 spec. Best, most fun and reliable car I ever owned, hands down. Sold it when I moved to a house without a garage (*cries*). I should have found a way to keep it, they have doubled in price. I had a good friend with a Porsche 911. He drove my car, turned around and sold the Porsche and bought an M635.

@Retromod Ай бұрын
Good advice, being in shape is certainly important. But I think you missed the point of my comment. The heavy steering at low speeds impedes the car's nimbleness and ability to change direction quickly. That detracts from the fun factor at low speeds. Thanks for commenting and watching!

It looked like half the driving was done on the right-hand side of the white line... where all the rocks and glass and any other debris on the road gets blown. I guess the owner didn't mind.
@Retromod Ай бұрын
If you look at the video, the car is not over the white line in most of the footage. Sure there are a couple of shots from the rear where the car went onto the shoulder. The car is positioned to the outside of the lane to get the best angle of it in the shot. Thanks for watching and commenting!

People saying that reviews were bs. Not true. 1988 is the top if you want a sorted one. 86-87 Is good Before that they are garbage. The gearing bad the 4 speed bad the suspension soft and disconnected. I know this will hurt feelings but its the truth. If you can't get an 88gt you will spend and spend to get close
@Fishsticks360 Ай бұрын
You're mostly correct, but we're splitting hairs on some things. 88 is the best set up out of the box, but all of them still have crappy 70-80s design suspensions and way too much tire sidewall. Parts for 88s suck to find. Some of the mods you really should do to make components live through more than stock power can't be done to 88s. I guess if you want a pure stock time capsule then yeah, 88 is the way to go. You're going to spend money regardless because most of these cars have now spent the majority of their lives beat and neglected, and the ones that don't require being disassembled and fixed are going to be $$$ anyway. I've done the Fiero dance several times. The latest one has 3x stock power and I've made it really nice, but I ended up getting a Mk7.5 Golf R and the poor Fiero sits in the shop now except for the occasional show.
