review by Scott
The Pontiac Fiero GT was built between 1985 and 1988. The styling
was changed mid-way between the 1986 model from the "notch-back"
to the "fast-back" design. The engine is no slouch, producing
145hp and 155ft/lb torque. In addition to the design change,
the transmission was changed from a 4-speed manual to a 5-speed
manual (the optimal combination). With an almost optimal 50/50
weight distribution, handling was very good (for a car made
with off-the-shelf parts!). In 1988, the suspension and braking
system were redesigned (with help from the GM owned Lotus division)
to improve the performance of this little "commuter" car. This
improvment make these little 1988's the most desired of the
bunch; however, they are also the rarest due to the low production
numbers (less than 50,000). Even more rare are the models with
the T-Top option. Between the 1987 and 1988 models (including
the "super" rare Fiero Formula) there were less than 8,000 made
with factory T-tops.
