It still uses a trans axle, as the trans in trans axle stands for Transmission rather than Trans Verse.  It is a longitudinal trans axle from an Olds Toronado. AKA TH425 Trans axle.

 

This is not the same car that was shown a year or so ago, this is a brand new build for the 25th Fiero Anniversary show which is going on this weekend.

true, but the video is old. I love the new color they gave it though.  On a side note, did i hear correctly that its chain driven?  If so, im sure that'd help with regard to destroying transmissions, hopefully the chain would give out first.

edit:  Have they said what kind of power its putting out?

All I know is...  I don't want to be sitting inside it when it's under power and the blower belt lets go!  Thin layer of plexi there...  someone's gonna die!
