John M Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Guess I'll dive in 1994 Dodge Stealth R/T twin turbo - 12.5 @ 109. Stock turbos, stock cat-back, stock fuel pump. 4070 lbs with me in it. Sold in August at 90k miles. and 2001 Grand Marquis LSE - 9.9 @ 73 in the 1/8th which is not bad at all for a big sedan. Mods included a Superchips programmer and a ported upper intake manifold. The LSE has bucket seats & center console w/ shifter like the Marauder. The sound system included a single JBL 12 on 160 watts that hit 141.3 dB. When I sold it last September it had 33k miles (and a new set of Bridgestone RE750s!) Did you know the Crown Vic / Grand Marquis club is just as active as ours or any other? They're running in the 12s too - I could have done it for $5k. Instead I sold both cars and bought one that combined the best aspects of both. Once I mod the LGT into the 12s I'll be satisfied again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I have to say that I'm no fan of the current generation of GTP- it's just butt friggin' ugly- the "good ones" IMO were the previous gen. I was talking with my father last night and we have a project car already, but he misses my GTP too! We may grab one together and have it for fun- in fact, I still have the e-mail addy of the guy who bought mine- maybe I'll offer him the 16K he paid for it to have it back.

Epitaph Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Haha nice,yea i definitly think the previous gen GPs were the best looking (and im not saying that just because i own one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panamajack Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Here's mine. It's an 85 corolla GT-S. Gets the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Seriously - I don't care where you are in the country, I want that Corolla if you ever sell it!!!! It's my absolute favorite color and configuration (GT-S hatchback). I had an 80 Corolla hatchback and loved the 85-87 style but couldn't afford one back then. It's on my "going to own one of those" list and I've never seen one like yours. And no, I don't care at all about the "sport" of drifting. I just like the Corolla that much.

avengador1 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 You probably would like it better with a 3.4 DOHC engine, an SC3800 engine, or even a SBC. These are just some of the engines people have put into their Fieros. If you want to learn more about Fieros look here: www.fiero.nl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I saw a blurb somewhere after the Aztek fiasco a few years back, that there were more search hits for 'Pontiac Fiero' than for 'Pontiac Aztek' that year. Fiero's are cool indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengador1 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Thanks for the compliments. I have been working on this car for about 3 years to get it where it is at. Some people would say why spend all that money on an 18 year old car? I like it because it is rare and becoming rarer. How many Fieros do you see on a daily basis and how many look as good as mine? I can tell you the answer is not too many. They only made a bit over 380,000 Fieros between the 1984 and 1988 model years. The production numbers for my year Fiero were less than 30,000 if I remember correctly. A lot of Fieros have ended up in the junkyard after living long lifes or from accidents. They did have a 5 star crash rating in their time and only the Volvos did better in safety. My Fiero couldn't hold a candle in the performance department to my LGT but I could mod it to make it a real performer if I wanted to. The real thing I like about it is that it isn't a belly button car and still looks good today. The stylist back then did a pretty good job back then. It would be interesting to see how many LGTs are around after 18 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I must say I do prefer the 88 models with the longer sail panels and windows. Always looked more "ferrari' than the others. Great job on it, man. The only thing I can think of that you should still do, is lower it down off those stilts. The wheel wells look empty. an inch or 1.5 would do nicely...

PGT Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I had a friend in high school back in the day that had an '88 GT with V6 in gold. Sweet ride back then, especially for a chick in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 There was a local dude with a Fiero with a 350 in the back. I remember a guy on one of the GTP boards posting about his 3800S/C'ed Fiero- man, I ned to win the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 More pics of the Mini Cooper S Convertible. 'Cool Blue' with white stripes front and rear, NAV and HID, blue cloth top, Volk knock-offs, and Dinan airbox. That's it so far, but the car is only four months old. The '05's have 170Hp + shorter gearing on the 6sp. Add about 5-8 HP for the Dinan airbox which gets cool air from the cowl. Supposedly, a low six second car given the only road test I have seen of the '05 models so far. More mods to come.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o- c-uTe Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Very nice Supra. I love Supras, they are one of the king of imports to me. I watch a lot of racing videos of Supra's at http://www.racingflix.com It is a good site for videos of all kinds of cars. I pay for faster downlaods, it is worth it.
