Fiero kits can be scary fast with a V8 conversion. The kits for the V8 conversion are readily available and, with a 400-500 hp small block Chevy transplant, the "Fiero" is now a serious threat to the "supercars"...which is why Chevrolet FORCED Pontiac to STOP producing them. They were cutting into Corvette sales by the 1988 model year and that's why that year is only a half year production.

[@presmasterflash7555]

A 3800 sc is better balanced in those chassis and plenty enough power for those tin cans. But I like where you’re goin with this…

[@lgz2006]

Pontiac Fiero: It's actually a great car to work on, as long it has a *MANUAL TRANSMISSION* along with the V6 engine, hopefully... Myers Manx: It's a dune buggy! You can just simply mod it, throw in big tires and off road it!

[@kellingtonlink956]

The Super 7 R400 would be my first choice. Followed very closely by the Factory Five’s rocket. Worthy of note; Anthony from GasKings first made quite the sensation on Y-tube with videos based around “SuperCar OR Replica?”. He did very well on Y-tube, financially.... before spending time in the ‘Nick’ (Her Majesty’s Penal Institution... Jail/prison) for unrelated charges. I knew him back then. It was a great category to do a video on for the Ideal Team. Consider... the worst Replicas. Although, there may be too many choices to shortlist. Thanks for the video Brad,.... and ‘Sneezy”.

[@IdealMediaChannel]

[@jasonkupke6768]

Noble M600. Not sure it’s technically a kit, but they were only sold in the US without a drivetrain. The pronunciation of Mulsanne and LeMans had me cringing! Jason Camissa (Road & Track) recently called out KZbin videos with mispronounced words/names. He said- how can you take them seriously if the creator didn’t learn how to pronounce correctly. I like your videos, but please work on the pronunciation. Love the budget car lists!

For what it's worth, setting aside the fact that a DYI kit car is cool to be able to say you built it yourself for cheap. The only one I would really want to build is the Factory 5 GTM but even at 25k without the C5 it will end up costing you 35-50k and that's not counting all the hours of labor involved! Sooo I just went out and bought a cheap (8-10k) little Saturn Sky Redline, and with some bolt-on's and a tune I've got a light (2,900lbs) fun roadster making 350 hp at the wheel for around 10-12k, perfect for autocross / road course weekend's.

Fieros had the ability to dust Camaros, Trans Ams, and even Corvettes of that same era. GM produced the car as an econobox commuter, and was not willing to threaten their other models' performance numbers if the Fiero outperformed their signature rides costing twice and three times more. I had an 86 GT back in the day and would regularly dust Irocs, T/As, and vettes in mountainous twisties. My buddy who was a good driver wrecked his Vette when trying to stay on my bumper.

That included about a $30,000 1000hp engine and about another $30,000 in Options (just for the car). So that's already $86,000 right there and that left about another $114,000 in Stuff added himself that was not included.

The Dino 206/246 GT and GTS were not designed by Bertone but by Aldo Brovarone at Pininfarina. Marcello Gandini at Bertone designed the Dino 208/308 GT4 which was a mid engine V8 powered 4 seater. The Dino 308 GT4 was introduced in 1973 and supplemented by the 208 GT4 in 1975. The cars were sold with Dino badging (continuing the Dino brand in honor of Enzo Ferrari’s late son, to differentiate non-V12 Ferraris) until May 1976, when they received Ferrari badging. The Ferrari GT4 was later replaced by the Mondial 8 in 1980. The only other Ferraris designed by Bertone’s Marcelo Gandini were a couple of one off Ferrari 250 GT SWB Speciales and the 308 GT Rainbow shown at the 1976 Turin Auto Show of which only one was built. Bertone did design the Lancia Stratos though. You got that part right.
