Just installed my Z06 brakes

I wanted to thank Bob Bishop for the design and manufacturing and Trackbird for setting up the group purchases back in last November when I bought them. I don't autocross the SS anymore. I have a trailered, race-only, not street legal Fiero for that now. State Farm likes it better that way. It took seven months to rebuild the car after November's conflict with the light pole and hydrant and the brakes have served as decerations on my coffee table in the formal living room. My wife's actually pissed that they're gone now. She liked them. They are quite pretty. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Anyway, my stock 50,000 brakes with 2 years of autocrossing were pretty much gone so I had to replace them. Why would I buy new pads and have rotors turned when I have these already waiting for installation?!? It took ~4 hours tonight to do the entire job, by myself, in the driveway, in the dark too. Very easy. No issues. The stopping power is awesome.

Thanks again guys.

Where are the Fieros?

I'm surprised that we don't see many Fieros. Does anyone know why? They ought to have good f/r balance and the V6's have decent power. Maybe the suspension mods are limited.

Just thinking about it. My sister and I were thinking of building a dedicated race vehicle for next year and the Fiero came up.

So what do you guys know about them?

Also, what do you think would be the best car for autocrossing?

We're looking for a 10+year old car so that it will be cheap, lightweight, good balance, preferably RWD, short wheel base and narrow for tight courses. Gonna gut the interior, install roll bar, pump up horse power, install super wide race tires and mod the suspension like crazy.
