[DMCForum] Re: I Stand Corrected ("Plastic" DeLoreans)



It's darn near the same car. Both have a 2.8 liter V6, both have
almost identical performance, and they are similar in appeal (I've
noticed many DeLorean people also like Fieros). The DeLorean handles
much better stock, but Fieros can be easily upgraded with aftermarket
parts. Mine handles better than my DeLorean.

Fieros really shine when you go custom. Take a look at my '86:

Supercharged 3.8 and a lot of custom work. While I very much prefer my
DeLorean and am selling the Fiero since I don't drive it anymore, it's
been hard getting used to the relatively poor acceleration of my D.
