Hi all...

Well, it's seriously FALL up here in Canada...almost time to put 'Crossie' under covers in the garage...a few more nice fall days left to cruise, though...

Pics here of my totally stock X-Fire...well, ALMOST totally stock...K&N air filters !

May have to sell the Fiero - sadly - as there is not enough room in my garage for all the beasts in my family!

Cheers,

Nice pictures! Does suck that we will have to put our cars away soon though, doesn't it?

 

Congrats, both very nice looking cars, in 1984 I almost traded my 82 Firebird for an 84 Fiero, I still have my bird.

 

Good looking car. I will be driving mine until the snow flies. Iam taking advantage of this nice fall weather.

 

~ congrats on your new crossfire & welcome to the forum!

 

Nice car, looks like mine but yours is in better condition.

 

Welcome aboard, and congratulations on your XF.

 

Congratulations on your new purchase.
Same exact car I have and love it.
I never actually "store" mine away.
If a day in the middle of winter is dry and sunny it comes out for a drive.
It may be below freezing temps where all the wet stuff is frozen solid or it may be milder when everything is melted away and the roads are dry.
Winter has a lot of good days to drive the Crossfire without it getting dirty at all.

 

Welcome to the BEST Crossfire Forum. Now the FUN begins!

 

welcome to the crossfire forum!!

 

Welcome and congrats on your "new" car. I used to have a '86 white Fiero GT. It was my daily driver for nearly 10 years. I put over 150,000 miles on that thing. Man those were fun cars. You are the second member here that I seen replacing their Fiero with a Crossfire.

 

Sorry to say this but isn't it a little hard to call a Fiero a Beast?
LOL

Oh...yeah...my '88 GT IS a beast, all right...not as quick as the X-Fire, but it can hold its own in traffic...

0-60 approx 7.3 seconds...with the K&N intake and if you row the 5-speed and take no hostages with the clutch...!

But, not bad for a car that was initially intended as a 'commuter'...(to get it past the bean counters at GM)

Sounds better with its stock exhaust than the X-fire...even with the pushrod 2.8...(but, you can fix that problem with the X-fire!!)

Lots of fun to drive, too...manual rack an pinion steering and the revised '88 Lotus-designed suspension is actually quicker and tighter steering than my X-Fire with the bit numb Mercedes steering...and, slightly better balanced - front to rear - as the X-Fire has a larger front to rear weight bias than the rear to front bias percentage of the Fiero...(Fiero, despite the mid/rear engine placement, is more neutral)

Grip is way better in the X-Fire, though...due to the larger meats...

It will be sad to part with my '88 GT...as it, like the Crossfire, has a really distinct personality...

Plus, will the X-Fire look as good in 20 years as the Fiero does now? We'll see...

Still, I LOVE my X-Fire...!!

I used to love how my Fiero handled on the ice & snow. That mid-engine gave it good balance. And, whenever it got stuck on the ice, I could get out and push it over to better traction.

Working on the engine was a ***** though!
