I’ve gotta say - it would seem to me like this kind of car would lend itself to a manual transmission. When you start talking about serious turbo lag, you want to be able to drop out the clutch and get the revs up a bit to get the turbos spooling a little before rubbing the clutch a bit as you get going out of…

My buddy had a damned good run with one of those last night... Jetpacks can make this game entertaining as hell to watch.

Why is this game so amazing and wonderful to us older (over 30) types, and younger folks are so turned off once they realize “there’s nothing else to do”?

Yeah I already have been working through PC gaming for the most part, so the fact that everything seems to be going towards “Play Anywhere” titles is awesome for me. I don’t have to buy an XB1 - I can continue to use my home workstation + gaming GPU as a MS/Steam gaming machine, and then a PS4 for Sony/console games.…

Hey!! Look out on LinkedIn, I’ve been meaning to get back in touch with you - go Fieros! I miss the hell out of mine...

To be honest, that’s fairly endemic to any rear-biased MR-platform vehicle. Older Ferraris were known for the exact same behavior. If anything they’re a little easier to control though, as they have a bunch more power to quickly “fix” problems. In the Fiero, you better be in the right gear, or you’re toast.

It seems like they also need a bigger map, but then with more players. I feel like the current map is actually too small... you can sail across the whole thing relatively quickly, especially when you’re trying to evade a marauding pirate galleon. At full sail in a galleon, my crew and I have accidentally sailed right…

Fortunately, it’s free with MS Game Pass.

I’m the one who did it. I remember very well how fast I was going, it was fast enough that the dash was brought forward 6-8" or so and the body was twisted about 5° around, and the rear end came about a foot “up” vs the passenger cabin. The front wheel was pinned against the front firewall and the doors were jammed…

I honestly don’t know a ton about Toyota motors. I was going off the top of my head about some cool builds that have been done with Fieros. It’s very possible they used the 3S motors and I remembered wrong. The point is that a modern, lighter, higher-output motor would make a lot more sense here.

I am getting the point. “Then you don’t have a Fiero” is exactly what I’m going for. In my mind it’s “then you’re not ruining a Fiero”.

If it was done 7 years ago then there’s way less reason to buy the car. Battery packs have limited lives. This is just ripe for a major cost explosion on top of being a less desirable car. Honestly if it wasn’t possible to do with decent performance back then, then it shouldn’t have been done at all. Just because you…

It’s a trap!

I would star this more times if I could.

I stuffed my first Fiero headfirst into a tree at 50mph (2nd month driving 🙄 - lift-throttle oversteer is a thing in that car...) - I can personally attest to that car being incredibly safe. I walked away sore but otherwise uninjured.

They could have done the same with an 80's Civic and it would’ve made a lot more sense. Taking a perfectly good (and valuable) 88GT and putting a low powered electric motor in it just sucks. If they’re GONNA convert it, at least get a serious EV motor and battery pack.

Or, you know, they could just use GPS.

How about the most glaring question that no one is asking...

Yo mean like this? There was definitely a fastback...

This is actually something that Porsche 928 owners do to gain aftermarket support and cheaper repair costs (durability isn’t really a factor as the stock trans is very stout). A company makes a pretty straightforward conversion kit for not too much money. I wonder if that company could be convinced to make a kit for…
