Which Car?

[GTPilot88]

So I have delima

Which car?

Therese and I are owners of another Fiero. Total of 2 now

This is not any Fiero, this was dads 88 Formula that he sold to my cousin Benjamin in Rhode Island when he got the Cutlass in 2007, after moving to Colorado. The Cutlass is what he did tour in 08 in and i joined him 09 and 10 when he flew home sick and past 2 weeks later. The formula was also the car I drove to college for over half a year.

It has benn taken very good care of it in the past 10 years. He repainted it himself and also swapped a GM 3800 supercharged engine in it. It is a great build that runs great. Good job Ben.

We took both cars on thier first voyage together for a 300 mile roadtrip this weekend. Both ran. great without any major issue.

Thanks dad for keeping an eye on us this weekend. You are missed, wish we could do more cruising together in these cars.
(our last time we did the Gt broke down in the mountains)

Now I have to decide which to take on Hot Rod Power Tour next week. Any help deciding would be appreciated.

Trip will be about 2500-3000 miles total

Both can pull my small cargo trailer. And I am comfortably driving both, they drive very similar except clutch friction point.

I like the flags but then I am only a few miles from the stadium. Take the one that you enjoy driving the most.

The GT again. Good problem to have.

Like driving both for different reasons

wheels and seats from the GT on the Formula and go for it!

[74NovaMan]

Formula. I've seen the GT.

Formula - live on the edge - I'd like to see that boosted Buford in the boiler room

[GTPilot88]

Formula. I've seen the GT.

Not much to look at...little rough around the edges...gt much cleaner build and way more eye catching....formula will get lost in the crowd

[Jesse James 80]

No A/C-have done 2 full tours in Cutlass convertible..no A/C

This nails it for me. The older I get, the less I want to sweat my ass off sitting in traffic. I'm 36 now, but all my first trucks didn't have A/C. I didn't own my first vehicle with A/C until I was 24 (a 2000 Z71).

All my toys have A/C now, but unless my wife is with me I normally have the windows down with the A/C on high (wind "messes up her hair"). I don't mind not having A/C when we're moving, but it's those hours sitting in traffic on vinyl seats that does it for me... so I'd roll in the GT.

Taking the good old trusty Gt

To many unknows. Tires are old..seats tearing..alignment not done since rebuilt...haven't pulled trailer yet with it..weather and no ac..only got 700 miles under my belt I car...and more

See you guys out there...missed seeing most of you last year

[stu yoakam]

I want to take the old heap Friday or Saturday because it's local and then do the rest with my daily that has a/c and fancy radio and windows that don't leak.

This year I am taking the navigator's chair in a 50 year old muscle car with no A/C that has her disposition, should be a fun week
