ive never owned a fiero, but i was driving one for 10 minutes before it caught on fire.

when i was a used car salesman in college some guy traded a fiero and we gave him 1,000.00 for it. when i was driving it to a wholesaler 10 minutes away, the fire started. i pulled over and ran then called a ride.

Porsche should step-up!

Can someone confirm that there is a Porsche flat 6 that does not have this potential issue. I think I read somewhere that the 3.6L turbo engines do not suffer from RMS....true?
