    That is so cool. I have never heard about these.

    I used to work at a shop here in Canada and we used to do fiero/Ferrari conversions, the body kits we used were manufactured in Mexico and we never put Ferrari badges on them but we supplied them in a plastic bag for customers to install

    About ten years ago, there was a Mera for sale near me for $6K. Had I known it wasn’t just another kit car, I would have bought it

I didn't pursue it was always regret it.but still drive my fiero
  • You missed a great opportunity to address some details. How do the pop up headlights work? I assume they're under the black hood vents. They are not on the Ferrari. Were all the cars based on the four cylinder cars or are there any V6 cars roaming around? That would be interesting because the six cylinder Fiero engines put out similar torque numbers to the original car. Not HP numbers... But the original car is not exactly fast my modem standards. Even more interesting perhaps, would be a comparison between both original cars to determine which if any, is the better handling car. Build quality would be another great comparison, for Ferrari's of this era were known to be a little suspect. Cardboard behind the headliner, door cards and parcel tray were not no common. Remember Enzo built road cars mostly as a way to fund his real passion, Ferrari's race team. None the less, very cool car. Lastly speaking to the Fiero community, if anyone knows of a clean later formula car, manual with a 3.8 swap... I'm all ears! Lol. That's the Holy Trinity of F cars. Ask me how I know, I almost bought one, but the owner lent it to his son for graduation... That didn't end well. 😅

    What is this camera lens w/distorting the view? Do we not have better than this by now?

    car copyright should expire after a number of years out of production .... so us peasants can then have a chance to one a copy.
  • @jcmusco
    What number is it, I own a 87gt
  • @coopertreee
    Should have left the original mera badges on the car. Now it’s just another cheesy Ferrari replica
