If you have spent the last 5 years dealing with kit car companies then you would know that this is a very good busness model. It is a good car sold for close to 39,000 last time I saw it up for auction i believe. I personally bid on the vechile last time it was on ebay but it got to rich for my blood very quickly.

Mid-engined since it's built on a Pontiac Fiero. You can tell because of the interior center console/what remains of the dash. The V6 is probably not the stock 140hp/170lb-ft 2.8L V6 cause that would be an embarrassment in a car billed as a supercar kit car -- it's probably a 205hp 3800cc Series 2 GM engine (250hp with factory supercharger) which, in a Fiero, makes it a Mustang GT-killer -- at least it feels like it.

Here's a good rundown on the engines that can be stuffed into a Fiero:

Interesting to note is that one of the engines is a high-revving 4-cyl (The HO Quad-4) whose power kicks in at 3k rpm and is a lot of fun to redline (sound familiar?)
