It is insane fast

Peoples definition of fast varies alot. To call something insane fast...that takes more than a 12 second car and at least to me should be more impressive on video.

I ran a 12.58 before I switched to the LS1/Shelby PCM. Now the car is a rocket. I am running full line pressure and I have no slip. Bad thing is ------ The trans will suffer. I have two spares sitting around.

11? 12.0? We will have to see at the track!

just think a 12 second Chevette.
BTW a Fiero uses Chevette parts.
That would be insane fast

I have done one brake upgrade and I am looking into another with a set of rims.

BTW the tires lock when gearing down.

Posted by: 02LSE96LSC91SE84TC

Yes if your in the area I could show you the car. Maybe a quick ride.

I will have to put some kitty litter down if you plan on pulling in my driveway

I can throw a rock to the ramp

This is a stock PCM vs the Shelby

Snows melting this weekend so no litter needed. I've sold a few projects right in that area the past few years with the most recent on the corner house on 101st and Courtland, other side of the freeway. You must be just west of the breezeway if you can chuck a rock onto the ramp.

12 second quarter = insane fast?

Posted by: bufordtpisser

Why are you guys always busting someones balls. He has a 12 second street car that is not a cooky cutter clone of anyone elses. Give props where props are due. Its faster than anything Lincoln puts out.

12 second quarter = faster than yours

Yeah, and the next one that does not have anything that has to do with the post, other than to belittle the guy for having the sack to build something as he has, will be put on quiet until I feel like removing them (I.E. NO posts that they put up ANYWHERE on the site will be seen by anyone but the admin here).

ENUF!!!!!!

If you have nothing nice to say DO NOT SAY IT from now on. Keep your off color posts, and negative comments to private messages, NOT the board!

I call my car a TURD for a reason it is a POS compared to what I think a car should drive like. I built it to sell. I have a guy that has offered $13K, but I need to do more work on it. The LS1/Shelby PCM has fixed some problem that I need to spend hundreds of hours on to fixes. I have spent over a hundred hour on the other PCM just to throw them away. I ran a 12.58 with the correct sequences. I have done it many times, but it would run in the low 13's other wise. Now with the LS1 PCM it is the same every time and it is more tunable. It is so much faster than the 12.5 run with the LS1 in it now. Maybe I am 12 flat or faster. I should be about 75 real horse power more. That would be about 350 HP in a plastic Turd.

The car is fun to drive. It is fast. The LS1 PCM was a huge improvement. Now I have a BLOWER.

I have a guy in the Cadillac forum that asked me why I call it a Turd. I don't like the car and I don't like Fiero.

I told that to a different forum guy and he said that is how they all drove back then. I don't care it should drive like a taut CTS-V

BTW the interior pictures are before I had started on it. I just laid the carpet and installed the seats.

I picked up the car in RI. I just wanted the trans for a Slinger Bee race car an 96 Beretta

The Fiero was a basket case No engine, in Interior, No brakes yeah big project

Posted by: papa bear

Do you have any pics of the drivetrain.

Posted by: papa bear

Beretta 90 gtz is a cool car

You shouldn't have made it a northstar Fiero when you could have stretched it and made it a Fiero/Ferrari/Lambo.

The car certainly was/is a p.o.s. as far as it's original intentions. I still chuckle at the neighbor that bought one new when they were introduced and paid $5K over sticker, but hey, at least his wife was hot.

First time I test fitted the engine

My $4000+ Ferrari 355 muffler.

You Play with what you have.. My former father-in-law built a Fiero/Ferrari from a kit... he had an engine built for it down in South Carolina. Car is hot...

Looks like a lot of work was put into the car.

I have a good friend who put a 351w into a 914 Porche.. why because that's what he wanted to do.. Damn go cart scoots...

He live in the Kenosha area maybe I can get him to bring it to GLD on the
13th of April.
