please give me your opinion on the fiero its a v6 and it has ok amount of power but i need more. do you guys consider this in the same area as camaros and firebirds. oh yeah this is a step up from my previous car, 98 taurus se but a step down from what my dad taught me to drive in 83 recaro t/a with 82 vette 350 and crossfire injection

I read about a guy once that does Northstar engine swaps into those. I heard they're pretty fast with the caddy engine under the hood. Also they make Lambo body kits for them that look pretty good.

The 2.8 60-degree Chevy V-6 never seemed to
have much going for it in the way of speed
parts. But, the basic idea is a GM FWD plant
in a RWD doghouse. So along with the Northstar
you have the option of various 3.8 FWD packages.
Supercharged Bonneville or Buick? Wouldn't be
too bad. Might have to get the torch out to make
it fit, but it's all fun.

swap the motor, the 2.8 is a turd. Fiero + motor swap = faaaast. Forced induction wouldn't hurt either.
