Thanks,

I know that most of these guy's on this Forum write checks for there cars so they can buy that slow Boxster all they want. I'm going to take that Boxster and Put a GM 3800 turbocharged engine in it and show them what real speed is. Anyone with a smart mouth want to race me with there BOXSTER? I will smoke ever car on this forum with my Fiero. When I put my 3800 turbo with 600 HP in the Boxster it will smoke everyone too. I get my hands dirty and know how to use tools. So back off and be nice to the new guy. Anyone want a nice and very fast Pontiac BP or e-mail me. Visit Fiero.nl to see what your missing.

I think you'll be surprised by the guys you'll find on this forum. There are some real car guys here. I, for instance, have a Boxster, but I also have a bunch of other stuff that I built myself. I'm not alone. There are several of us here that have projects going on, and not all Porsche projects either.

Troll aka: Want 986:

When and "IF" you ever do this GM powered 986 project of yours I will be your huckleberry......Lets just go to a track and do some random test. 1/4 mile, 0-100-0 and around a track....You may not want to call out people, you never know what you will get.

I think if you re-read the posts, most folks on here are trying to tell you that your expectations for the selling price of a Fiero are simply out of line. You're dealing with a group of people who aren't afraid to spend some money on a car that they enjoy but no one's going to throw their money away.

I don't think anyone doubts that you've done a nice job with your cars and they are surely fast. The "mine is bigger than yours" response seems a bit out of line though.

I've personally put well over $15k into a car that's not worth more than $4k. I don't expect any kind of monetary return on my investment. It's an investment in my hobby, nothing more and I don't expect more.

In all honesty, you may be better off parting the cars out. You may be able to make more money that way. Maybe by parting out all three you may get enough to buy a really nice 986 outright. While you seem to have some really fast Fieros, I would imagine the market for complete hot rod Fieros like yours to be limited.

On the other hand, someone can probably drop those engines in other GM cars.

Obviously the Fiero is no Porsche, but a low 11 sec mid-engined car for 15k seems like a pretty entertaining idea. 30k for the Northstar version seems a bit much though.

oh man, first you WON't smoke ever car on this forum because i am owning a 2007 Ferrari F430 F1 i tell you what: your car is a piece of junk after over 120mph that my car has high gears all the way to 200mph also your car wont beat me even under 100mph too.
i know boxster is a slow car but still that is a Porsche and not a GM, fieros are only use for build those fake replicas, if your car has 3.8 supercharge engine with a Ferrari 355 shell might be a good thing.
yes, maybe a ferrari is too much to compare your car but i also i have a junk which called 1g Eclipse GSX, i made 8" on the 1/4 also you go dsmtuners.com you will find people done 6 sec somthing on quarter miles.

anyway, people will look at a Boxster more than the Fiero also 13 secs on 1/4 mile times is very very slow. a stock old Stock 300zx TT which go for $5000 will make better time.

Oh man,what a sweet ride! I looked up the F430 and I noticed that it uses the same radio as my 99' Boxster does..........Becker CDR-220. Oh well,you don't buy a Porsche or Ferrari for the stereo quality. You have one heck of ride though man,congrats!

oh yes, i didnt really notice, the cd player on the f430 looks very same as my boxster's instead a "porsche" it says Ferrari even the name at the very same place on the faceplate, i think they are same thing.

Mods please close this thread!!!

Dude... you need to chill. Why would someone buy a model T? Because they like that style and it suits them, do you think they care its slow as an old lady using a walker? No. Im glad you found a good medium (fieros) for making good 1/4 mile times, if its all about that there are some people on this forum with bikes, and they are a lot quicker in the 1/4 than a fiero. Im glad your gonna do a GM engine swap, because after you do, no one will buy that car. And if they do its at a serious loss. Porsche buyers arnt known to be all hopped up on meth enough to buy a chopped and frankensteined sports car. Stick with your fieros if you just want sleepers. Why not put a V8 in a geo metro, thatd be a good sleeper. And I bet itd be great in the 1/4 mile. Plus its a lot cheaper than a boxster.

Low 10s for 5k. It can turn like a little ******************** too. Two wheels baby!

I guess you can't read. This is a Boxster forum and not a F430 forum. And yes I will beat your 430 with ease. My last slip was 11.20 thats without the nos. Your car is lucky to go low 12s. Price of over 100k you can have your 430.
Here are some 430 times http://www.dragtimes.com/Ferrari-F430-Timeslip-11185.html
