My oldest son had an 86 fiero with a 5 speed. He drove it for a about 6 months & then I built a 350 small block putting out around 400 hp. He broke several axels on it so we sold it. To Much horshpower. I now have a 2005 6 speed limited & there is no comparing the 2 cars. the crossfire has it all over the fiero. Comfort & power is so much better. They are worlds apart. Go for it & don't look back
