The LT1 Stinger takes what is called in the Vette show world "Bowtie Gold"
I'm really happy with this one, can't wait to put it on the wall at the shop.

Congrads archie... I heard that was one of the top awards from the Bill from motorsports.. They showed last years fall show and me mentioned that it was one of the highest you could get at Chevy Vette Fest.

Funnier than heck...... This group of 3 guys (real young 20's) walks up and this one kid acting like he knows everything about Fieros. He tells his buddies "yeah they started making Fieros in 1982 and quit making them in 1990". Then he says to me, Isn't this the 1990 Fiero?". I just started laughing.... I laughed so hard that I almost fell on the floor and started rolling around. These guys must have thought I was nuts.... When I finally re-gained some of my composure, I said that the 1990 Fiero was in CA. I then started laughing again and they just walked away, thinking I was making fun of them.
Ok, I'll give you all another report tomorrow.
Nite all.
Archie
Don't you love it when young kids think they know it all... haha I bet you he is one that always ripped on the Fiero and up until never has seen what you can do to it and thinks he is all hot stuff when he talks about it to his friends now... He was probably a ricer want a be... lol...

Oh yeah, that reminds me, Bill and MSUTV was at the Vette-Fest filming his annual TV program on that show & he did a 10 minute segment on the LT1 Stinger. So, in a few weeks, you can see it on TV. I probally look like a bumb on tape but the LT1 Stinger was lookin' GOOD.

This kind of stuff makes me sooo proud to be a Fiero owner. I'm always showing co-workers and friends these beautiful fieros. They all say the same thing, "THAT'S A FIERO?!?!"
Priceless
congrats archie!

For any of you who drove to see the 89/90 prototype, you shoulda stopped in Chicago to see the stinger. All i can say is WOW. They're gonna need an Extra page in HotRod magazine to feature all of the awards this car will win.

Actually, we were at O'Hare for 2 hours going out to Cali. and 2 1/2 hours on the return trip. We puttered around the airport as we had no way to get anywhere, plus if we left, we would have had to go BACK through security, YUCK! Jet lag is setting in BIG TIME!!!

That reminds me of the movie "Arthur". Remember when he's in the limo with the hooker and all of a sudden he just bursts out laughing? After he regains his composure he says: "Sometimes I just think funny things!" .
LOL!

Adding to this was the fact that it was 16° outside! BRRRRR! Now, if Archie had driven over and picked us up in the Stinger, well - *THEN* I would have "braved" the cold, AND the Security!

The 4.X motor will work in the Fiero... but it's not something Archie deals with. Run a search in the Tech section (& Tech Archive) for "Cadero, Small Block Caddy, and 4.1 & 4.9" and you'll get some info...
