The MR2 was so much better than the fiero. Fieros might have sold a little better if they didn't use the same 4 cylinder that USPS uses in their mail trucks (the iron duke).

you could trick people to come out at lunchtime to check their mail if you drove a 4 cyl fiero in front of the house, stopped, and then took off again.

The Fiero, the SVO, 83 CFI. You trolls are something else...

If you got a beef with a corporation make a formal complaint. Are you saying that today, the Pontiac G8 is detuned because it is faster than the Z06? GTFOOH:rolleyes:

Here is the GM mailing address, make a point letter and mail it to them

GM
P.O. Box 33170
Detroit, MI 48232-5170

Let me guess, by 10:00PM a new thread about 80s BS would come up. You noobs, trolls and others live with it, there is no 83 CFI and the C5 is better than C4s.

:iagree: Great post PLRX! :thumbs:

:iagree: I used to have a 1987 Cavalier Z24 with that 2.8L and that was rated 0-60 in 7.8 seconds and with the speed limiter, you were topped out at 116.

The 2.8 was a wheezer in any form, carb, tbi, or mpfi.
That's all there is to it.

That was part of the conspiracy. So that you wouldn't know the 2.8L was detuned in the Fiero, they detuned it in every car thereafter as well. So while you think the 2.8L was never rated at more than about 135hp, the reality is made 637hp when not detuned. GM still hasn't come clean about it because it would be faster than the new ZR1.

They also went all "Mission Impossible" and made sure the engines would self-destruct after use, thereby disposing of all the evidence.

socal....I laughed so hard at that I damn near passed out. That's got to be one of the best replies to a troll I've ever seen. Keep up the great work:thumbs:
