Uhhh... Pontiac was NEVER more than run of the mill Badge engineering..

Firebird=Chevy Camaro
GranPrix=Chevy MonteCarlo
GTO=Holden (Aussie) Monaro
G8=Holden Commodore
80-90s Lemans=Opel Kaddett/Vauxhall Astra/Daewoo garbage

Good riddance

Up until the later 70's Pontiacs had a completely different engine than Chevy, as did Olds and Buick. The only thing they shared was was the tranny, and Firebirds and Camaros had different suspensions until 1970, while the A/G chassis (Grand Prix, GTO and Monte Carlo were completely different until 1976. The corporate GM 305/350 started in 76-78 depending on which chassis you're talking about.

Wow, no Fiero hate! I'm impressed guys! Impressed enough to admit that red GT is mine.

No hate here I've worked for GM for 40+ years, started at a Pontiac dealership in Westwood, CA. I've driven my share of Fieros, yours looks like a nice example

I was behind a Fiero on the freeway once and watched it begin fisftailing until the driver lost it altogether and after a 180, slammed into the guardrail. Rear engine bias too heavy?

Like any car that's not front weight-biased, the Fiero takes actual driver skill to play near the limit. Sounds like that person's enthusiasm outweighed his/her skill... or road conditions stacked the deck against them.
