    But at least that keeps the mosquitos away!

    Would love to build one of those. Very much the "NX2000 principle". Power to spare, now we have to figure out how to make her turn.

    That's sweet. My dad had 2 of them when I was little, and this was my first thought when I decided to get into ITA. I hope it does real well.

    Good Luck!

    Car looks great!!

    One of those is def on my list of cars to own at some point! Typical GM, finally get it right and then kill it! :/

    Anyone race an iron duke? In a Fiero, or otherwise? Is it worth a damn? Seems like it would atleast handle better as a lighter B car... might depend on the tracks you planned to race?

    Contact Don Duman (current SM racer) about building and racing a Fiero. He's not on this board, but you could PM him on SpecMiata.com.

    Hmmm....yes, that is a fair statement.

    I think there are VERY few ITB fieros being raced. I used mine to get thru driving school and novice races. It made it thru a few more races before blowing a head gasket, and then bent some push rods and valve stems. I did a full head rebuild, and am testing it this thurs. Wish me luck.
