Extreme stripping out of a fiero?

Real tech discussion on design, fabrication, testing, development of custom or adapted parts for Pontiac Fieros. Not questions about the power a CAI will give.

I would have told him that I would give him the names only if he would let me teabag him on video and then he has to post it on all the Fiero boards. And he would have to give me 10k too.

Too bad GM didn't go forward with some of these ideas... An all aluminum V6 Fiero could weigh less than 2500#, even fully optioned.

I agree. A 3.4DOHC all-aluminum Fiero would have been one awesome car. It would have held it's own against the newer MR2, RX7, 300Z crowd for what I sure would have been a much lower price.

One man decided there was not enough money to forge cranks, and that was that, the death of the all aluminum 2.8 turbo.

Just got back from my buddies house (hes a member here but never posts, I told him to post pics so hold your breath) hes got an 86SE down to 2,100lbs with a 2.8, 4spd, and a full cage. Talk about gutted, it does still have a full trunk though, full front section, etc.

The gas mileage of a decent areo, 2500lb, 3800 fiero would be sickening.

Doesn't a basic 3800 coupe weight like 2800? is 300 lbs going to make the MPG skyrocket?

The later aero coupes 87-88 and formula have the lowest drag coefficient and are the second lightest next to early 4cyl bumperpad cars. I think its the best place to start.

My buddies car still has the bumpers too. Their plan is to get their other car under 2,000lbs with the 2.8.

I never really said that the mpg will go up due to the lightness, its already close to 40 as it is in a 88coupe.

FTFY :salute:

Depending on how heavy you're into it, I've heard 8mpg out of these things :)
