If theres anything i would like to know is how fast are these KIT when finshed. I here that a chevy V8 is the best for these kits but what about performance?
whats the 1/4mile on most kits?
top speed?
skid pad?
how much abuse can a fiero handle?!
are these kits faster than the real deal!?
go to www.fasttrackperformance.com/page5/video_customerrides.html
to see a real lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT take on a ACR viper and a supra. keep in mind these are not pros nor i dont think that was a supra it sounds more like an NSX to me.

why are repilcas so expensive?!

Pantera,
Cool video clip. What makes you think is was real? :)

With regards to horse power, speed, quarter mile, and skid pad, it really depends on how you build the kit. Some go for speed and performance. Others go for looks and fuel economy. That is what makes replicas so nice. You can customize it to your specs. That is the fun of building you own. You need to understand that kits are unique. There are no two the same. It is all builder preference. Some spend more money than others. If you want to drop a V8 for the performance, it is going to cost more. If you want to spend less go with the stock Fiero V6.
The Fiero can take the abuse of a big motor. When you stretch the chassis you can add support for rigidity. The Fiero comes with 2 different 5 speed transaxles. One is made by Isuzu, and the other by Muncie (Getrag). The Isuzu is not quite as strong but is has been run with a GM 350 motor. There is so much that can e done with a replica. The sky is the limit.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks. I dont think that was a Supra it sounds more like an Acrua NSX to me because you dont here that "wooooof" sound you would get from a Supra. Not only that but most Supras weight alot more than a Viper Plus supra are "Boats" about the size of a 1970s caddillac!. The video was probly planed so the so called supra would win and if you seen it got somewhat of a head start. That wasnt the autoband because they dont sell Vipers overseas. The Lamborghini was a real one if you drive next to one they sound alot like an F14 taking of!.
