Fast and Furious 9 (Page 1/2)

I have not seen the movie but saw the trailer and they use a Fiero in this movie. I was just wondering if this exposure ( especially to a younger generation) will increase the value of the Fiero GT? I know the exotic sports car market is exploding with pricing 40% higher than pre pandemic. I have been following the auctions for the Fiero GT and have not seen much of an uptick in price.

There is some possibility that the F&F 9 movie may improve the value and reputation of the Fiero....Then again, we may have another myth (Like the "Fieros all catch fire" myth) to contend with;

The only way the value comes up with this is if you have a rocket attached.

I got stuck seeing the movie. It sucked and the Fiero was treated as a punchline.

The Fiero wasn't glorified at all unfortunatly.

Since the movie's release, I've not met anyone at a car show or other function who made the connection to my car and the F9 Fiero. Really, I've only seen it discussed in Fiero circles.

It will take a Fiero in a serious hero car role to see any pop culture influence on value, and unfortunately - as hyperv6 pointed out - these days, the entertainment industry sees them as a punchline car more often than not. See also: Pain & Gain, How I Met Your Mother, Trailer Park Boys, American Dad, Top Gear USA, Mythbusters, Breaking Bad, Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory, et al.

To be fair the real people in the performance industry think the FF movies are just stupidity.

We mock them for being stupid and for getting all the armatures to say NOS vs N.O.S.

I actually fell asleep at 9.

Everyone has found themselves chuckling at the amount of bs in movie in fact there is so much bs it is real to life as i have spoken to the people that will tell you their car runs 10s etc when clearly it sounds like a camry.

The amount of "common knowledge" that is actually wrong is amazing.....From 1999 thru 2005 I owned a '99 F-bird Formula. I told several "Car guys" that it would run a 13.8 quarter with the proper tires...."Humpf! That ain't very fast"

The new "Car buffs" think that "Drifting" sideways in a circle while having your leg out the door shows you "Know how to drive" and are "super-duper coolie-O"......Mor-Ons!

Well I get a lot of looks and people do come up to me when I drive my GT. The 3800 supercharger gives it enough growl that often gets attention. I have talked to a lot of millennials who are not familiar with the Fiero but love the looks so in time I think the Fiero will gain momentum in interest and value. I have noticed that certain cars have increased in value since the pandemic. For a long time I was interested in a 2006 SSR. I could have purchased a yellow 06 SSR a few years back for high 20’s. That same car now is going for high 30’s. Also noticed Similar on 2013 corvette 427 and all the Porsche 911s are getting crazy money.
