1988 Pontiac Fiero Gt 3800 Supercharged Professionally Installed on 2040-cars
Enterprise, Alabama, United States
|
1988 Fiero GT 5 Speed with a Series II 3.8L Supercharged V6 conversion. This is not a quick and dirty back yard swap. It is a professional conversion performed by Sinister Performance in Fort Wayne Indiana in 2007. Driven just over 10,000 miles since the conversion. The car belonged to a Chassis Systems Engineer for Gm when the conversion was done.
The donor car for the conversion was a bone stock 88 GT with 123,000 miles in excellent running condition that was purchased in 2005. There is no rust anywhere including problem areas like the trunk corners, radiator supports, engine compartment under battery tray, etc.
The 3800SC Series II engine was a zero mileage factory GM dyno engine manufactured in 1998 (Run once on the dyno for quality control on the assembly line. Still fitted with dyno oil when purchased. 5 Speed Getrag Transmission
Primary Modifications: CNC ported supercharger housing, smaller diameter s.c pulley, high capacity fuel system, Series III stainless fuel rails, ceramic coated West Coast Fiero Headers, custom aluminized 2.5 inch exhaust with flowmaster muffler (sounds fantastic) new master cylinder and Spec 2+ clutch, Koni shocks and struts, short throw shifter, many upgraded suspension parts, new 13" brakes front and rear.
The battery box was relocated to the front trunk with an optimum battery and accessible trickle charger connection. It has 5 Zigen aluminum Racing wheels and BF Goodrich tires.
The goal of the conversion was to retain the original stock appearance and driver comforts. Thus considerable time and expense went into retaining the air conditioner and a late model Pontiac CD stereo was installed. Dash and sail panel speakers were swapped for Polk Audio. A Sunbird turbo instrument cluster was installed which looks identical to the Fieros but has a boost gauge.
original paint is an 8/10 and the interior is 9.5/10
Please look at the conversion sheet in the pictures. Over $8500 was spent on the engine swap with Sinister Performance not including the new engine, new wheels, and the car itself.
There has been over $20,000 spent on this one of a kind car. The previous description was from the previous owners son. I am selling it for a friend. It is an awesome car and it deserves to be treated how the past few owners have cared for and improved it. I dare say that you would have a had time finding a nicer one. Feel free to call with questions. 334-393-8448

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
