When I drive my Black 1986 Fiero GT, it's a driving experience. It gets a lot of looks, and people 40 and under always ask what it is. I can appreciate becoming engaged with going through the gears of the 4 speed manual transmission while creating the crackle of the exhaust when downshifting. The way the road feels inches below you as you carve the pavement feeling the feedback through the steering wheel. It won't throw you back hard. However, it loves to be thrown around a twisty road. Anyone who owns or owns one knows exactly what I mean. That old saying "don't knock it, till you try it" rings true for the Fiero.

This car came out almost 40 years ago and I still want one. It's just about perfect. It's a shame that the penny pinchers running GM in the 80's killed it off when the engineers were just starting to get it perfect. They completely redesigned the suspension for the last year. That's just ignorant in my opinion. The sales would've gotten better once people got a taste of the new suspension setup. GM was just too impatient and too focused on sales volume. They probably lost money the last year. But it would've paid for itself if they had kept making them

@The_R-n-I_Guy 2 жыл бұрын

Just imagine if Pontiac was still around making the Fiero. That new GM 2.0 turbo with a 5 speed manual transmission, adjustable magnetic suspension and electronic limited slip differential. Yeah, that would be awesome

@robertpoudrette4483 2 жыл бұрын

One could only imagine what that car could have been with engineering upgrades! But it would surely have had a Quad 4 and later on, probably a turbo 2 liter similar to the Pontiac Solstice and still better suspension... BUT GM being GM, taking stupid decisions fairly consistently, also killed the Firebird and the Camaro later on... While the Mustang was still enjoying strong sales, replacing them with a half baked weird styled pickup and a oh so bland but excellent GTO... The Fiero would have died later with the whole Pontiac line anyway. To keep, ugh... Old people's car division Buick. All this because they sold well in China. Typical.

I had an 85 GT 4spd. I don't get their complaint about the steering. It wasn't as heavy as they make it out to be. It wasn't light, like a power unit. But it was not really hard to turn, even if not moving. It gave lots of feedback through the wheel. I liked it myself. I also had an 84 Trans Am L69 WS6. The Fiero was the more fun to drive.

"Der Anteil des aus erneuerbaren Energien erzeugten Stroms am Verbrauch lag im Jahr 2022 bei 48,3 Prozent (2021: 42,7 Prozent). Den größten Beitrag dazu leisteten Windkraftanlagen - vor allem an Land. On- und Offshore-Anlagen kamen gemeinsam auf einen Anteil von 25,9 Prozent. Photovoltaik deckte 11,4 Prozent und Biomasse 8,2 Prozent. Die übrigen 2,8 Prozent entfielen auf Wasserkraft und sonstige Erneuerbare." Nach Aussage des Videos ist ein Anteil von viel mehr als 5% nicht möglich. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass Altmeier, Grabriel und leider auch Graichen seit über einem Jahrzehnt alles unternehmen um den Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien zu stoppen und Dänemark auch bei einem Anteil von über 80% noch nicht entvölkert ist, eine grandiose Fehleinschätzung.

I personally think the 1984 model with the iron duke was mainly responsible for the fieros death. Second main reason was underpowered engines. The 1984 fiero was the red headed stepchild. The Indy version I wouldn’t mind owning it’s very rare today. Using the 4cyl iron duke was the worst idea.

Ronald Tartaglia yeah that probably was the main reasons for the fieros death. The Pontiac fiero has a subframe that’s capable of supporting many engine types. I’m willing to bet other engine sizes were tested at some point in the development of the fiero. If that was the case the Chevy corvette would’ve been eaten for lunch.

@@ebperformance8436 : Pontiac engineers ran several V-8 prototypes around the Detroit & Pontiac Michigan area as early as summer of '83! One test mule Fiero even had an all aluminum V8 that Corvette engineers were terrified of! A little know fact is when the C4 Vette was finally released, Corvette engineers & Pontiac engineers got together for a little inter-company schenagins & the brand new "state of the art" Corvette was DESTROYED by the V8 Fiero every time they raced!!! Some Fiero & Corvette forums have threads dedicated to these test competitions. Sadly for Fiero, once the Brass at GM caught wind of this, the full on sabotage of Fiero was on. As far as GM was concerned back then as it still is today, Corvette is "King" & Fiero engineers were forced to work with one hand tied behind their backs after those races took place & GM forbid Pontiac from testing the V8 test mules any further & made it very clear that the Fiero would never have a V8 engine authorized for production. Sad but true. I've built up my '87 GT to more modern standards - suspension & brake wise & am currently saving up for a LS4/ 4T65 conversion. I'm also trying to figure out how to install some sort of power steering.
