Another thing that is irritating about the Street Tuner Challenge show is that they call the MINI the MINI Cooper SS what the hell? And display the standard Cooper power figures. It’s annoying and amusing at the same time.

I emailed them and thier smug response was that the editor was a fan of impalas. Who really cares what he likes? Check the facts! Also they claim FB,Tim gave them the figures.

And the girls they use? According to the producers “they have plenty of talent”.

“they have plenty of talent”

Of course they do, Ken! They’re just not allowed to do-what-they-do on the Speed Channel… that’s all.

I have a bone stock 1985 Fiero SE 2M6 V6 (no Ferrari bodykit) and I can tell you there are a lot more than 6 Fieros left in the world. I’ve owned mine since new and if you need a Fiero “expert” to talk to, I would recommend a number of clubs. To tell you the truth, I bought my MINI for the same reasons I have a Fiero. They do handle very well…especially for 1985. You would expect with 23 years of development, the MINI better handle better, be more fuel efficient, etc. The front suspension was based on the Chevette front suspension. Along with being a member of the Vancouver MINI Cooper Club, I am also a member of Westcoast Fieros of BC.

I do not recommending bringing back the Fiero, but Pontiac could do a lot worse if they did.

Anyways, not wanting to sound like I’m ranting, I did enjoy the show.
