Great videos. That red homebrew chop looks great! I like the simple lines, they really look clean on that car. I prefer the GT's myself but that car just looks great.
Is that one fiero really pushing 700+ HP? Are more pics/info on it?

Yes it sure is pushing that much out. It has a huge two stage turbo on it and he can dial in his boost to where he wants it.
Sorry there was no burnout contest but I am sure that chuck would have won hands down. He took it out on the road and ran out or room to hit third. It was nuts

It's nice to get a clean complement on the car. I spent over an hour scrubbing the seats. The car is not garage kept anymore and I don't have a clean job so it does take some abuse. I got a free part from Archie to fix my seatbelt, although I don't think Archie knew about it, thanks guys! It was a fairly exciting drive down too. Walking out of a gas station the lady in front of me saw the car and said " hey, we passed that Ferrari." I didn't bother to correct her. A car of highschool aged guys pulled up next to me while driving and asked what kind of car it was, that was pretty cool. And lots of looks and kids pointing it out to there parents. I didn't stay long, but got to park in line with the rest of the chops and look at a lot of nice cars. It was a good time. if you didn't make it I recommend going next year.

Your car looked great......I tried to find you at your car a couple of times to say hi but you left before I got the chance.

Yeah, my girlfriend wanted to stay in the shade and when we walked away it seemed like people were more comfortable looking at the car without me watching over them. Wish I could have stayed longer, I see some cars showed up after I left, there's always next year.

ROFL!!!! Don't get me wrong or nothing, I think it's a beautiful car. But there is NO WAY the Fiero is even close to 700hp with that setup. The car dyno at 410whp@13PSI as shown here https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F...1/HTML/064529-3.html We have a couple 700-900hp V8 drag cars and trucks at work... trust me, there is no way that car is running "780HP"
