Bendle & MacKenzie Pontiac Fiero Rocky Mountain Rally May 1991. Quite possibly the most outrageous Pontiac Fiero rally car around. With Time Bendle piloting and Art MacKenzie navigating, they were never boring. Plus a couple of clips of rather rare Toyota Celica 4WD and a Mazda 323 AWD.
Bighorn Rally, May 1994: Art Makenzie has built the Fiero supposedly to prove that a North American carcan do well at rallying. When it goes, it is fast. However, as it is so highly modified things are often not working. They don't have to take many spare parts for service, as the whole car is almost all custom built. It has a Pontiac race engine, and modified suspension. It is an amazing car,and very impressive to watch in action. It can do as well as some of the AWD cars, and it is only RWD. Credit must be given to Tim Bendle who manages to control the beast!
They won the Canadian Championship with that car, I remember watching that race. They did a custom chassis in later years and it was called a Pegasus, they were stretching the rules with the modified car. Terry Epp the President of C.A.R.S. back then was my 4th grade teacher.
Sorry for being months late seeing this post, but... The engine is a 3 litre SuperDuty block with raised port aluminum race head and has a custom built tuned port manifold with sequential port injection and custom 4-1 header. The transmission is a Getrag 5 speed case with special order Webster dog clutch gears. As set up in the second video it ran 300 hp at 7000 RPM but was built for an extremely broad power band and was tuned to redline at 7500.
