I’ve seen people stare until they lose sight of the car while driving or being towed on the streets.

Believe it or not, Fiero kits are still pretty popular.
My brother-in-law works for a garage that builds a couple of them a year.
This one (if it’s real) actually looks pretty good until you pop the hood or look inside.

Better get some dark ass windows on there so nobody can see inside.
And spend a little more and do the Chevy 350 conversion so it can get out of its own way.
With that motor inside and the proper tires, you’re talking 13-second 1/4 mile runs. (stock body)

the kit looks awsome...not a bad car just to leave in your driveway as you bring girls to your house...but besides that...not worth the 20k

I don't understand why people do this. If you can't afford a car like that, then don't try and pretend. It just makes you look dumb.

It's really a shame because someone spent alot of time and $$ to put that together. And in the end they still have alot of nothing. That car still needs a great deal of work.

can you honestly imagine driving this thing around... I mean, going to someone's house, picking someone up in this thing... taking it downtown... I mean, honestly.

you'll definitely be getting looks.... for the wrong reasons.

down here outside of new orleans, there;s lots of those kit cars, u see fake shelby AC cobra's and fake lambo's and ferari's around all the time.... my neighbor had a lotus esprit kit car, and it looked bad ass..... it's people down here that have time to spare so instead of restoring a ride, they build one as a long project....
