Unusual 1984 fiero indy pace replica - 1 of 2000 factory produced in 1984 - clean inside and out - recent service including valve cover gasket and fluid change - rides and drives very well. Approximately 2,000 of these vehicles were sold. The indy had aero body cladding and new front and rear fascias that would be used on the 1985 gt. This 'periscope' style inlet was used on the three actual indy pace car fieros that appeared at the 1984 indianapolis 500. This inlet scoop, and the 2. 7 l (160 cu in) super duty engine that they fed, were not available on the production model pace car replicas. The super duty engine produced 232 bhp (173 kw) at 6500 rpm and 210 lb·ft (280 n·m) of torque at 5500 rpm. Hoglund named pontiac engineer john callies to drive the actual pace car at indy. Callies was the factory's lead engineer on both the pace car and imsa programs. Fiero became the first 4-cylinder car to pace the 500 since a stutz paced the 1912 race, at a then record 144 mph (232 km/h). The fiero was conceived as a small, two-seat sports car with all new suspension and v6 engine. While general motors management and accountants were opposed to investing in a second two-seater sports car that might compete with the corvette, they perceived the oil crisis as a market opportunity for a fuel-efficient sporty commuter car. These figures are u. With respect to fuel economy, the fiero was intended to appeal to a market niche for which the corvette with its v8 engine was unsuitable. As a cost-saving measure commonly employed at gm, the tires, brakes, and suspension components were carried over from other gm economy cars (like the x and t platforms). As a result, the handling and cornering abilities of the initial fiero were merely on par with other contemporary sporty coupes (road & track 1985). Additionally, the iron duke i4 motor, which was designed for optimal running at low rpm due to its long stroke, was unsuited to drivers who purchased the fiero expecting a quick, high-revving motor more in keeping with the design of the car.
