In all actuality though, I really like Skitimes from the pics I have seen and Purple Reigns from what I have seen in person. [minus the paint and 'glass work ]

Wow lots of nice cars. Were is Revins car. That thing is awesome, and then some. Also Travis's aka 1FST2M6. I dont thing he owns the car anymore but that doesnt make it not sweet. How about Madcurls and a N* to boot.
besides, isn't the fastback just a factory modification of the true original (notchback).

Here's the nicest, most original, self-built, exotic 86 Fiero GT that was owned and designed by Rich Warber dating back to 1996. Rich himself did the 3" Chop-Top, modded rear wing, front and rear scoops, paint work, and the 355-450 hp V8 conversion using a Zumalt kit. This was an awesome customized powerhouse that was new to the Fiero world. Of course, many may recall that Rich was used to the limelite as he was a drag racer since 1959 when he built a Crosley station wagon with a Chevy V8 (in the drivers seat) which he drove from the rear seat. He progressed to a "B" dragster, then an "A" gas dragster, a "C" Fuelie, and a "AA" Fuelie, He held a National Record of 9.4 at 143 mph in the quarter mile which held for five years. Rich's "C" Fuelie car ran a 7.42 at 240 mph which was also a record. Whenever he went to a car show, he was always judged "The Best". From one month to the next, Rich would always be doing something new to his Fiero. Check out his write up in the "Fiero Focus" magazine November 1997. The below photo was taken at the 2000 World of Wheels, Chicago.

Is this the Purple Pavement Eater. It really looks like it. If so Archie has it on his site for sale 22,500. Not many miles on it. Almost $1 a mile.
Hey Archie, question; the Purple Pavement Eater, what are the new improvement? Does the new owner have any pics? For a chop, how much over-all car weight is lost or gained?
I am posting this and I HAVE NOT! even read anything other then the first post. I do not like FB's and will most likely only own notchies! but I would vote on Ski's as best FB. there I voiced my opinion! Looks around for firesuit

^^^ im gonna have to agree with fierox on this on and say that that one above me is the best looking fastback, i love the smoothed look.however it was also pretty damn good looking as a notchie,,, i wish i could find a pic of it. it had the same nose on it, was red with checkered decals on it, but i guess it didnt have the 4.9 back then.. and no im not making this up.. its a toronto car i know that much maybe someone from T.dot can chime in and verify!
Yes thats it Kameo, any pics of the interior? I forgot to take any... just have some video of it. But It's got some stuff that I've not seen done before that I plan on building on for my car. I've got some ideas in the works. -Ryan
How about mine!? I just got done lowering her. What do you think?
Do you ever drive through Bay City? I've seen a nice red fastback every once in a while. I have a bumperless, leaking exhaust, cracked windshield 86 GT. It was perfect when I got it, and is slowly becoming nice again. I think I'm the only person who has a Fastback Fiero GT that uses it like its a 2m4 that is not even cared for. Well, mine looks like it, but I take care of it.
