not dead set on a new car. would prefer a used one because i dont really want/need a warranty cause' i plan on putting some parts under the hood of whatever i get. way too expensive to add shit for the fusion sport i own.

I think he's talking about 3.8 from Grand Prix and shit. Would be pretty hard to put a "vette" motor into a fiero. If you like mid engines consider an sw20 3sgte with a ct20 makes for a fun steer car and no swap needed.

buick L67 supercharged is a good swap for them. easily get them to around 300hp with minor mods which isn't bad for a car of its weight.

yeah dealing with a v8 swap would be such a hassle lol. v6 swap so you don't wanna burn the car down when you work on it lol

my brother owns a 2012 370z sports package.
he went to the dealership after crashing his s2000 hitting a sand patch on a highway. totalled the fk out of his s2.
he hit each gaurd rail at each side of the highway a couple times. hes lucky to be alive but his back is fked up now.

as for the 370z i drove it a couple times to the grocery store (lmao). i love it, its like a mini GTR. my cousin has a 2010 GTR and ive also test drove that.
i mean its hard to compare a supercar to a sports car. but yes the 370z interior is very uh.... not cheap feeling lol, the drive is pretty awesome, the manumatic is sick.
and its pretty roomy for a two seater. only problem that he said he had was his engine becoming very hot, so he removed his plastic engine cover thingy, and has some holes in his bumper for better air flow i guess.
other than that its a pretty amazing car, he got a steal at 29,000 brand new.

P.S. Rip Janey, spent 3-4 years with us.
