Bring Back The Fiero. There used to be a car called a Pontiac Fiero. It was awful. Like a mid engined Corvette with half of its cylinders and silly little tires. But it allowed a bunch of really cool kit cars to be built around its mid engine layout, and some people were foolish enough to swap in V8 engines thinking they had just built a GT4. Testerossa. Editors note We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a special bout of insanity from friend of the site and crapcan racer hero, Bill Caswell, who is taking over for us this weekend. There was also the Toyota MR2, which was a decent little car. The final iteration with its four cylinder turbo was fun to drive. I took one for an extended, high speed test drive back in the day and loved it. I remember thinking that it needed a limited slip differential and larger sway bars or something to keep the roll down but it was a fun little car. I really wanted one back in high school, because it was mid engine and we all know that the best sports cars in the world are mid engined. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche sort of, and so on. But then it all stopped. The cheap mid engine cars stopped showing up. There was the Lotus EliseExige and Porsche Cayman but those are expensive. Thats the whole problem. We need cheap, mid engined cars so we can build our own race cars like this Fiero that was sold on Craigslist recently.
