This 1984 Pontiac Fiero SE is powered by a 4.6 L Cadillac Northstar V8. The motor runs on four Dellorto carburetors and an Electromotive HPV-1 ignition system. Behind the V8 is a Porsche 901 five-speed manual transaxle. The chassis needed to be stretched 12 inches to accommodate the powertrain’s longitudinal layout. The builder installed a Corvette C5 rear suspension and Corvette disc brakes. The exterior features custom bodywork in charcoal paint, third-generation Pontiac Firebird hatch, and Corvette wheels.
