Now THIS is a car I never would have thought about "Hot Rodding", but it seems to have turned out nice. ;) Any word on 1/4 mile times?
Nice shots Frank. :D

Problem with Detroit was too much answering & not enough innovating! And when they did have something nice, like the Fiero, the committee system screwed it up. Fiero was supposed to be a limited run of about 60,000 if I remember correctly. Then it was so popular that they upped that to well over 100,000 & had production & reliability problems because of it & then no one wanted to buy one.
