But....I could tell this wasn't a run of the mill Fiero GT. As it turned out, it had a warmed up LS-1 motor in it. I chatted briefly with the owner at the light and we agreed to have some fun so we took off and my M3 is pretty quick..maybe a high 13 second car but that Fiero just ran from me....likely a low 12 second car.
Anyway, some Detroit musings. Too windy to ride here today. May do Stoney this weekend.

Ah, yes. The LS Fiero. Oh, how I dreamed of convering mine to such a beast. I had plans, oh the plans. Unfortunately, the frame/chassis is in such rough shape that I would have to do a complete restoration before doing this. Therefore, it's not worth it now.
It was in bad shape when I got it and the idiot mechanics I took it to probably didn't even look at it (I was on a different side of town and got a bad recommendation for a mechanic).
Dream cruise? Oh yeah. I started going in, what? '95? I don't go every year now, mostly because it's too difficult to get around but I've had some good times down there and the cars are amazing. I'm actually a BMW club member for the discounted track events.
