It is about 2650 and has 140 hp. With 15" wheels it seems to have some promise. In looking at last summer's xcross results, whenever I ran against the fieros they beat me by about 2 seconds, which means that they are also about that much quicker than a 1970 porsche 911t as well which I ran with in .1 sec up in crown point.

The fiero has a less favorable power to weight ratio than my 280e but much better weight distribution and a good selection of speed and handling stuff is available.

And a LS1 will bolt right up to the Getrag.

Oh, and I can get a brand new LSD for it for about 300.
