Just in case anyone was wondering... I now own the Mean Green Machine... bought it from John Parenti a few years ago... what a fantastic little car.. I started drag racing with it last Friday at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, WA. My best time was 8.5 in an 1/8th mile track and that is the first time I have ever participated in a drag race... That put me in bracket three, I am working on bracket four.... I need to be better at shifting and quit hitting the rev limiter... I sure am glad that no one else bid on the car cause I have had more fun with it than I ever thought possible...

Im not sure ive seen the car. have any pictures?

Hey, Thanks Doug... I can see that I am going to have to figure this out if I am going to use it....

Here are a couple of your pics. This is an extremely nice car, hope I can get you to autocross it sometime.

There's a bunch of good pics here too: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/056533.html

Thank you for the link to the back posts, I enjoyed very much reading all of the comments. I have answers to many of the questions as to horsepower and engine build-up if anyone is still interested.

And that is about it.... by the way... roasted a 5.0 Mustang last night at the drag strip....

One of my faves! Beautiful car. Maybe I missed it, but mind if I ask how much he let it go for?

He had it on E-Bay for $8,000 and no one bid on it .... so, I bought it for that....

So tell us all about the sound system.

Okay,

1 Premier CD player Headunit
1 1/2 Farad Capacitor
1 Precieion Power 404 power amp
1 Precision Power 102 power amp
2 Sony 5057 Mosfet power amps
1 Sony 2021 Mosfet power amp
1 Audio Control adjustable active crossover
4 Infinity Kapa 3 1/2" speakers (two each headrest)
2 Polk Audio EX 1500 1 1/2" Tweeters
2 Rockford Fosgate 3 1/2" Puch high midrange speakers
2 MB Quart 5 1/4" lower midrange speakers
2 Boss 123 Magna 1 1/4" Tweeters
2 Rockford Fosgate Punch 6 1/2" Subwoofers (under the seats)

and thats about it....

I would like to see pics of where he stuffed all of those speakers.

I have seen and heard this car, at it is a great car.

""I would like to see pics of where he stuffed all of those speakers.""
Actually it is amazing,
4 are in the head rests
2 midrange in the dash
4 tweeters in the dash
1 each in the columns next to the seat (no seat belt retractors)
1 under each seat
for a total of 14,

The amazing part is where he hid the power amps (5 of them) one is behind the passenger seat, two are in the center console (I had to take that apart to find one of them as it was underneath the other one and I believe there is one in each door column beneath the speakers, I have not been able to confirm those...
