We live in a world where nothing is sacred anymore. From people swapping out engines on previous GMC Syclones, to swapping an LS motor into a Ford Mustang, the quest for drag strip supremacy makes owners throw everything out the window.

The Pontiac Fiero isn’t exactly a universally loved car. In fact, most people pan the little mid-engine coupe. It’s small, under-powered, and is often used to create terrible abominations such as fake Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and other weird contraptions.
