          the car is legit, and it was dynoed, but there's no printout available for viewing. there are several members on the fiero forums that are chomping at the bit to get this car.
          Trees aren't kind to me...

          currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
          94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

              If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                    I saw that car on one of the sunday morning type shows...they had it on the dyno...maybe "Horsepower TV" Can't remeber though...I know it started smoking...some of the heat wrap started smoldering. Don't remember much else about it though. The man knew what he was doing!
