PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. MY CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AND MAY BE REMOVED AT ANY TIME. BELOW IS THE TEXT FROM THE LISTING. 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT 6 I have owned this joy for about 5 years. It unfortunately has been forced to be my daily driver instead of the weekend joy. I sold my Cadillac El Dorado several months ago to buy a 1974 Corvette and it is now the weekend joy. The Fiero is senior owned and is just not practical for me to drive daily. I'm just too old to be squeezing in and out of this baby every day anymore.  UPDATE FOR 01.29. 2014: I BOUGHT A 2009 MUSTANG GT PREMIUM TODAY AND THE FIERO NEEDS TO GO. I KNOW MANY ENTHUSIASTS HAVE BEEN WATCHING MY CAR. Here's the stats: 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT6 All original panels, paint, carpet, door panels, spare tire, glass, etc. I mean all original except for the American Racing wheels. 226xxx original miles. At 194xxx the Fiero was overhauled with new head gaskets, OEM pistons, OEM lifters, valves, push rods, oil pump and pan gaskets, fuel pump, exhaust manifold gaskets, all new fuel injectors and gaskets and I could go on and on. (I DO NOT HAVE THE PAPERWORK) I bought the car with 223xxx miles and have driven it about four thousand miles. Here's what I have done to it: Brand new R134 air conditioning system. Blows 42 degrees. $800 4 brand new Cooper tires $445 New front brakes and calipers $290 New Magnaflow (CA approved) catalytic converter and exhaust (sounds like an Indy car) $540 Brand new Cardone distributor $255 Standard Distributor cap, rotor, wires, spark plugs, ECM $190 All new rubber coolant hoses (steel hoses from rear to front look almost new) $255 Various vacuum hoses (included with coolant hoses) Dashboard and door panel dress up kits $189 Diamond plate CNC custom cut floor mats $199 Brand new Igee custom CNC cut seat covers $179 Replaced gear oil with OEM anti-lock additive $99 New alternator with regulator $295 New drive belts $209 New air filter $10 And last month, I replaced the timing chain cover and gasket, water pump rear brakes and calipers, 2 sensors -temp and idle, oil and filter and just paid the registration $1017 I have invested thousands and thousands of dollars to make her run and drive like she does. I also have all of the PAPERWORK TO PROVE IT, including mileage. Clutch is tired but fully functional. Features: 175 HP Power windows Power locks Power mirrors 5 speed manual transmission with short-throw shift kit (reverse is tight) Original radio and subwoofer Pull-out sunroof with original storage bag All gauges and lights work as they should All-in-all, this is a bitching mid-engine sports car that has been responsibly owned by a 56 year old (SEMA) car guy. If you are looking for a car that will get you a lot of compliments...you should have a look. You will not be sorry...promise. She's got a few body and paint boogers but would clean-up to a 10 with a little TLC. If you need more pictures, (the interior is bitching) let me know. The 74 Vette and Mustang are as reference to show no BS here.. EMAIL IS BEST -DAVE

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am

Sun, Jun 28 2015

The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
