Porsche Eater taillights pictures wanted! (Page 1/1) 1985 Fiero GT SEP 30, 06:34 PM If anyone has any pictures of the actual Porsche eater taillights please post them, the ones on the factory notchback 2.9 turbo prototypes, they don't seem to be anywhere to be found on the internet, and that is a valuable piece of Fiero history that should be preserved and accessible. Patrick SEP 30, 07:18 PM Just in case this might jog someone's memory... from the book, Fiero by Gary Witzenburg. quote Originally that 2.9 Fiero said Porsche Eater on the back," relates John M. Sawruk, manager in charge of Pontiac's motorsports and special products. Jay Wetzel had John Schinella design the Porsche Eater logo, but it had to come off when Pontiac called on Porsche for other powertrain proposals. In any case, Sawruk recalls the dyno output of this turbocharged aluminum 2.9 V-6 as around 235 bhp rather than 220. Sawruk adds that, even among the engineers who built it, there were serious misgivings about marketing a car this hot. "When you get to a 6-second 0-60 car," he comments, "there are a lot of people out there I'd rather didn't drive it. We honestly talked about including, in the price of the car, mandatory lessons at a professional driving school. We would have insisted that the buyer complete the course before taking delivery. I swear, I have seen images of the Porsche Eater taillights. I just don't remember where. This is an image of the front of the Fiero in question, which doesn't help us too much... other than to indicate that the taillights we're interested in were for a notchie. cliffw SEP 30, 08:19 PM Never heard of them nor seen them. These are interesting and I have never seen many of these also hyperv6 SEP 30, 09:56 PM I’m not saying you never saw some but I have been at this for a very long time and never saw the tail lamps. To be honest there are few original photos of the cars outside those in the Fiero book. If not for that book we would never heard of the tail lamps. Much went on in 1984-85. They were well on the way working on the 1990. They were testing engines, locking in styling, testing plastic 16 inch wheels and I even have the nose emblem engineering drawing dated 1985. The Porsche guys were tuning the GM suspension.

I'm not 100% sure where I saw the photo(s), but I've seen a lot of Fiero images here since 1999. hyperv6 OCT 01, 06:55 PM They may be out there but I have been at this for decades and never saw much more than whst is posted here. It may have been something someone made too. Patrick OCT 01, 08:26 PM quote Originally posted by hyperv6: It may have been something someone made too. "Someone" made the taillights, for sure... but no, it wasn't a photoshop job like this. I seem to recall a black and white image, and there was someone kneeling down at the back of the Fiero looking at the custom PORSCHE EATER taillights.
