Mine had a pathetic carbed four banger with a 3 speed automatic
My brother has a 88 Fiero GT fastback with a all aluminum 4.9 Cadillac V-8 in it
Car has about 200K on it
He's has never washed it , it's (was)white ,now covered in mold and mildew , has a torn plastic fender and a leaky exhaust
And it will out accelerate just about any vehicle on the planet
He works at a law firm and is always drag racing the lawyers on the 2 lane get-on ramp to the interstate .
He's beat every lawyer in their BMW, Porsche , corvette etc that will race him down the ramp
He sold both his corvettes because the V-8 Fiero is so much faster and handles curves better than either of his corvettes
The Fiero is automatic. Which actually accelerates quicker ,
No wheel spin because the engine is right in front of the wheels
When you nail it , the back squats to the bump stops and the front tires will almost come off the pavement and then it's gone .
