 I know we have a video link area, but this topic is also kinda a discusstion about the fact that mythbusters had 2 Fiero's on there show, so here goes, I normally don't do this, but I went ahead and edited the entire mythbusters episode, cut out all the other stuff just leaving the Fiero parts.   Its a 100mb video in WMV Format.  Direct link is here,

http://captfiero.com/videos.../mythbusterfiero.wmv                      its 640x480 @ 30fps

I have other assorted Fiero videos about 15gig of them actually at www.captfiero.com/videos

I like how she's talking about the NOS setup....  and says that adding a hundred shot 'more than doubles' the power!.  *cough*.

Please note that even after all that abuse, they were able to jump into both cars and race away in them.

true, and worth noting my friend.  i just wished they could have picked a chevette or a Pinto or something.

also worth noting though is how they "easily" matched the weight and weight distribution of a lambo- another reason why these cars have such potential with the addition/modification of a few parts...

   I keep looking at the Aerial Atom and the Ultima Canam/GTR cars and see so much similarity to the Fiero.  Not so much in the Atom, but the Ultima, I'd love to see an Ultima with the skin off.  

           There is rumor Mythbusters paid $9000 for the fastback they had.  I really want to know what they did with both cars after they were done with them.

Dude, Ariel Atom and the X-Bow are absolute god cars. I remember reading about a company that boosted the X-Bow's power to around 370HP and it was keeping up with the Veyron until the 180MPH range, and outrunning it in the corners. Amazing.

PS, don't forget the Caterham Super 7 and Lotus SuperLight.

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

They just sold an Ultima GTR that was street legal at Barret Jackson that had wait for it, wait for it, 700hp and did 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.  Worlds fastest street car 0-100mph and 0-200mph and then back to zero.  Here is a neat one, Ultima GTR 0-340kph in 19 seconds.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3y7qbSCB44

Just google the Ultima GTR, its one amazing car.  Considering it costs less than a new Corvette and less than 1/2 the price of many other exotics.
