Anybody have any pics of the Green car in the bottom of this pic? It looks like a Bright Metallic Green T-Top coupe?! Which is what I've been pondering for my next project car... anybody have any pics or know anything about this car?

Yep, that's Ken George's 84 T-top. Used to be black. Those are my old GT rims on it (painted gold). Above his car is Lothar Figge's convertible with new big shiny rims and above that is the ultimate fiero, Bob Cumpson's 400+hp N20 supercharged 3.8 rocket.
I got many more pics of Ken's car if you wanna see them.

He had all the fuel injection custom made for that motor and had to be highly modified to make everything work. If you talk to more of the people in the Michigan Fiero Club that know rodney the can also back that his info is correct.
hmm still hard to believe.. I don't want to even know what the 0-60 with the nitrous would be 3.0's?. I'm with Joe and a bunch of the other people that were there, its a bit hard to believe.

Very hard to believe. Beautiful car , but even GM racing versions of the engines never propelled GT1/3 cars to those speeds.
Its a nice setup , but it does NOT have that much power.

JM- I agree that the SD4 never propelled any factory cars to those speeds, but I certainly feel that a Fuel Injected & Nitrous Injected form of the motor would at least be faster than the factory-carbed models.
I'm not saying he's right or wrong (As of late I've dealt with quite a few people who over estimate the HP & speed of their cars)... just that his SD4 car is likely to be quite measurably faster than the GM factory rides (I seem to recall your post about how much you enjoyed the increased performance of a good nitrous kit ).
FieroLisa's and mine I know Cheever will like this one...
You can barely see us next to our cars in this pic however it turned out nice Left to right: Kameo Kid, Wild_86_Custom, northstar87, FieroLisa, (me), Ken's 84 T-Top

I met Hulki outside, before the awards and he seemed to be getting a big kick out of all the wild stuff that rolled in, he said they were designed to be altered and changed not only with the new model changes but with the after market stuff too. he seems to enjoy all the new changes people come up with.

I'm one of those people. If that is true..than V8 and modded V6 Fiero's should be pulling similar times. Something stinks there.

There's no BS about his almost 500HP SD4. This guy is hardcore about his engine building. I have seen the dyno print when his engine was broken in - 338hp -281ft/lb torque. That was while the engine was being broken in and tuned on the dyno. Later he added a three stage 150 nitrous system. This is on an engine with 12.5:1 compression. You've gotta build an engine right to put 150 shot of NOS to a 12.5:1 engine.
And for the disbelievers of his claim to 4 sec 0-60 times. Actually he ran 4.2 seconds 0-60 on motor, this was before the nitrous system had been installed.
Where did this 4.2 second time come from? He got his hands on a Verichrom (Sp?), one of those bike wheel things that auto magazines use to test acceleration. It's a bike wheel that is fastened to the body with suction cups, and it measures rotational speed of the wheel vs time. He made several runs and his average was 4.2 seconds 0-60.
Yeah it's hard to believe that any four cylinder engine can be this powerful, but I know Rodney personally and I've seen the evidence of his car's abilities. If ever someone with a high HP V8 challenged Rodney to a quarter mile run, I'd put my money on Rodney's car.
Sorry about that!
