Not to sound like a jerk, but you do mean a "T-top Formula?"

@@aspenironstudio3160 No, T-Top Fieros are pretty rare in general. Sunroofs are everywhere, but the T-tops are the bee's knees. Being a Formula is just icing on an already delicious ice-cream cake.

@@T0RP .The first GT was the 1985 Notch back......using the aero-kit developed for the 1984 4-cyl INDY Edition..... 86 thru 88 all gt's were fastback at that point.

Norman Guzman...Used to play chess with a Norman Guzman....you wouldn't be he? Anyway, have had a string of Fiero's for 30 years and am now on my third...an 88 GT with the V6-five speed. Bought it from a former dealer four years ago with 20K on it. I am now 78 and have no plans of ever parting with it and am planning on tooling around with it in Heaven or Hell or wherever I end up.

That was me also, exactly!! Like you I'm wanting another one again.

​@@blackholeentry3489 Coincidentally that was another Norman. Once you get to know this cars, they are easy to work with. With 20k miles on your Fiero you won't have to worry about problems on the car for a long time, just enjoy the car the way it was meant to be.

@@normanguzman417 Thanks. Yes, I love them and it is hard for me to believe a Fiero has been my primary transportation for 30 years. This 88 GT that I have owned for four years now has close to 50K. I am 78 and plan on driving this car many more years....just the same as my motorcycle!

If you like Fieros, you should watch it. Dude has no clue.

True. He was totally disinfirmed and got the Fiero community going. Lol

@@jnush Should be called ThatDudeHasNoClue. Never has out of car shots either. So repetitive car after car after car.....

Could not agree more, buddy.

Yeah lol I mean he did a great job... At pissing the entire fiero community all the way off

Oh yeah. The Fiero is timeless. More than the 1990 model would be.

Ummm, yea okay V-6 turd beats the car that drove Porsche and Toyota out of the winners ring and sent them crying home.

You ever hear of the Corvette Challenge? No one could beat them on a race track, that is what matters to me!

Some of us thought it was rather turdy then.

I own both they are both beautiful cars, the fiero was cancelled because of the massive recall of the 4 cylinder in 87, to much PR damage.Basically the 4 cylinder killed the 6 cylinder.

Your being too kind to GM. This was the GM of Roger Smith AKA Capt Dumbass who helped steer GM into the iceberg. It was criminal what GM did to the Fiero program.

@@seththomas9105 The Fiero scared the unholy bejesus out of the Corvette division by handling far more superior and with the right engine, would leave the Vette group crying for their mommies! (I've owned and driven a Fiero for 30 years now and an 88 GT V6 with five speed manual transmission is my only car)

Ted Hursh I bought my first 86 Fiero in 89...an Iron Duke four with a five speed manual. Then, in 2004, a second one. Between the two, I ran up almost 300K, then found an 88 GT V6 Five speed with only 20K on it. Plan on driving the wheels off of this one. A Fiero has been my ONLY driver for 30 years now and I'm 78.

@@blackholeentry3489 Well, I'm 67, and I've been working on cars since I was 15, and this is the easiest car to work on. It's only a 4 cyl, it's not a tire burner, but, I don't know what it is, but this is the most fun car I've ever driven. I just noticed my math was wrong.......I've had the car for 28yrs, not 19. How is the 2.8 on gas??

@@tedhursh9058 I heard that the 4 bangers can get over 40 mpg.

I love mine too!

I have a chance to buy an 88 formula yellow with sunroof great condition 130000 miles for $4,500 what do you think? I'm worried about the miles

@@leventahmed82 miles are a bit high for the price if everything is original. However maintenance and condition is everything. If the paint is nice and the dash isn't cracked, seats have no tears, and the AC works then it's a great deal.

@@cajunroadwarrior I'm going to look at it this weekend

@@cajunroadwarrior thank you I will let you know😊

Those Quads made similar numbers to the Honda VTEC before there was a VTEC (HO version had 180HP, 160ft-lbs torque... Modest NA tune on that can push upwards of 200HP and 175ft-lbs.), and they were small and light. However they were plagued with some reliability issues. IDI coil heat soak problems and IDI module delamination, cracking heads near the spark plug holes, gasket problems, and chain tensioner issues. I think that's why those never took the market, even though they could make the cars that had them sort of fun to drive. (I think anyone who has had one had a love/hate relationship. Pep, zip, not boring, but eventually the head gasket and/or head problem shows and it's over.) Later versions or derivatives of the Quad 4 kind of dulled the tuning and power to take some of the lopey and rough edge off, but didn't help to improve reliability. I think another car from that era that'd be neat to see some reviews on is an Olds W41 Calais (Quad442), specifically due to the HO Quad 4, handling package, and Getrag 5 speed. Just an oddball where nobody expects it. However those are more rare (not many survivors now - are there any left?) and even less known than that version of Fiero.

They were doing exactly that with the 1990 prototype and it did kick a Vette's ass, Thats really why GM killed it.

I have a chance to buy one with a hundred thirty thousand miles, sunroof yellow and an excellent condition $4,500 what do you think?

@@leventahmed82 I hope you bought it

I have an 86GT Fastback with a 5-speed too. It has been heavily upgraded. I believe that the fastback was released early, not mid 86 and the 5-speed became available mid 86.

I also had an 86, 5 spd GT. In spite of the clutch and the constant failing headlight motors, I loved the car. On twisty mountain roads, with the low end torque, it was fantastic. Sorry I sold it.

The Formula weighs less than the GT. Adding lightness (as Lotus' Colin Chapman was famous for saying) translates to slightly faster acceleration and better handling in the Formula over the GT.

In the late 90s the common engine swap on these was dropping in a tuned up 350 (or stroker 383) out of a camaro/ firebird/ corvette and take it to the drag strip, they were friggin rockets.

I have a friend that swapped a VW VR6 into one.. Holy shit fast.

Caddy 3.6 twin turbo

I have an 87 gt that I'm k24 swapping

Yes, it is for sale right now on Craigslist. Great car at an insanely low price: $5950. cars@classwinners.com for more info.

Class Winners DotCom for what it is I definitely agree. Someone needs to swipe it up

@@T0RP Five speed manual...the four speed was an 84 only version. The 84 version had the two metal plates at the front of the engine cover...in 84 they were a un-louvered, a simple black cover, in 85 and on, they had louvers to expel heat, an easy way to ID first year Fieros.

Guy Olive < That’s a blank statement

I say B.S. little kid

@@macclark4112 Ha, I'm 47 and had one in the late 80's. You just gotta know how to drive them, they're geared high so you can't shift at 15, 25, 35 like a normal car.

Cal Naughton jr , there have been many American made mid engine cars, but most have been expensive, limited edition models or intended as race cars. Think Ford GT (the original GT40 road cars were made in England), SSC Ultimate Aero, Saleen S7...

Class Winners DotCom I was stuck on stupid! I know better, but that goes to show you, the Fiero isn't like any other American car!

Cal Naughton jr It’s all good! Even the Magic Man is entitled to a brain fart or two. One’s brain doesn’t naturally connect an affordable 80’s car to a six figure car from the 2000s or late 1960’s or 1970’s CanAm car. #shakeandbake

I have owned 2 Fieros and love my 86 Fiero!
