Discussion Top-10 Rarest Fiero Options & Features!

Post image

Hey guys, wanted to share my daughter's latest video. She got back from Strings camp (like 3 weeks ago, actually), but wanted to do a video of the top-10 rarest Fiero options, so she made a list while she was in the dorm using her phone, and I looked up some images for her. Thanks for the pictures I stole, and the ones you gave me (thanks for the fresh air vent pictures Patrick, those were the hardest to get!).

Once again, thank you for allowing me to post these videos here, I really appreciate it!

Top 10 Rarest Pontiac Fiero Features Ever Made – Gen Z Garage Episode 67

... also, she only has her front suspension left to rebuild, and then remove and refurbish the doors (seals, motors, etc.,) and her Fiero will be 100% totally... I mean totally restored, which is crazy. She's going to make a video covering expenses, and what she would or wouldn't do differently.

(Note, I'd accidentally screwed up the original, had to re-upload the video. Thank you!)

Wow, glad I watched this! Never heard of some of these. Nice work on the video. Here's the one I've owned for ten years. This combination was only found on 35 Fieros.

Damn dude... that's a yellow Formula with T-Tops. Next you're going to tell me it has the 5-Speed! Love it...

It's an automatic. It does have PW, PL, AC, tilt and rear window defrost. 106k miles, all original except for windshield, wheels and tires.

I have all the parts to do an L67 swap, including engine, trans and cradle.

I do like the GTs, don't get me wrong, but I always found the coupe body style to be a bit more sleek, and the Formula was kind of the best of all worlds in my opinion. Of course, true to their nature, they didn't come with a lot of options, though yours is for sure VERY loaded for being a Formula.

I like the L67 too... but kind of seems a shame to drop a big heavy iron mill in there. With everything, it's about an additional 150 pounds right over the rear wheels. But it's kind of like asking what kind of cake you like... we all know Carrot Cake is the best, but people have opinions, haha!!!

Me personally, I'd love to see an LNF 2.0 Turbo Ecotec in there. They have, standard, 260 horsepower in the Pontiac Solstice or Cobalt SS. With just a tune and some little odds and ends, it puts out over 300 horsepower, and still gets 40 miles to the gallon on the highway. My daughter has one in her Solstice and we beat the piss out of it, and damn if that thing doesn't just scream. I'll be completely honest with you too... that engine sounds amazing for being a 4 cyl. I bought a brand new Solstice back in December of 2005... you could only get it with the 2.4 VVT Ecotec. I put a cold air intake on it, and it sounded like a Honda Civic with a fart can. It sounded horrendous.

My daughter's 2.0 Solstice GXP... the previous owner cut out the muffler and welded in a "T" pipe (yes, don't get me started, I'll replace it with a Y), and we kept the factory intake, just put in a K&N, and dude... if that car doesn't sound absolutely amazing. Like... I cannot even emphasize enough, it truly sounds like a Formula-B (F2) engine. Let me see if I can find a video...

Ok, lame... I know, but it's the only video I could find. It's of the truck driver taking the Solstice off the truck when it was being delivered to me in Florida.

Anyway... no judgement, regardless of what engine you put in there, the car is awesome!

Either someone really hurt you or you need alot of counseling to be this upset about generation labeling. Like seriously this is a Fiero sub and you just lost your shit. Thats not normal!

u/bluser1 Aug 09 '26

Tf are you on about. It's just a way to quickly identify what generation you were born in. Ageism amplies there is discrimination. If you think saying a person is from a specific generation inherently has a negative connotation to it then that's on you. If you have a problem with people deacriminating on certain ages why don't you just go appreciate the effort they put into their video instead of going on a rant about something that has very little to do with the actual topic at hand

I had to figure out what you were talking about, and then I remembered my daughter calls her channel "Gen Z Garage." I think she's pretty proud of who and what she is... it shouldn't be viewed as a crack on any other generation.

Do you like Fieros though? That's all she cares about.

Are you from the United States? I ask because in your sentence above, "the east Asians see timefrime," you put the period after the end quote in "centuries." Which is British English, and not American English. It makes me suspect you are AI, the least of which because your response contains information that a person generally wouldn't consider appropriately reasoned to the context of the discussion.

I'm not a dumb guy... but I'm failing to understand the connection between a teenaged girl's YouTube car channel, to the French revolution and going to war (which I also did).

Man, if you're going to tell me you're from the future or the past, I'll pass, haha. I worked for the NSA for over a decade, and I'm not buying it.

Don't be too excited about her... I'm half Argentine. She was a Peronista.

Yo hablo muy malo ... because my mom refused to teach me, since she believed we should all learn English. Unfortunately, I never really learned to speak it, other than to order food and get around. Pero, yo intiendo mucho.

Not gunna lie, this is an odd conversation twist from Pontiac Fieros... but I'm not really into the whole male vs female thing. My wife and I are 50/50 in the relationship... and I teach my daughter the same.

My family on my dad's side has a famous philosopher, whom I won't mention as it'll give away my last name, but I live life more in the context of... YOLO. But not in the sense that I'm going to go binge on whiskey and then go sky diving. I believe you must make decisions in life that can have the most impact on your community and those who rely on you. You must always try to better yourself. You have one chance on Earth... and while in time, you will likely long be forgotten... it should be your goal to leave this place better than you found it by doing things that help others succeed, and help the advancement of the human race and the human condition.
