When the Pontiac Fiero debuted, GM likely had no idea that the little sports car would turn into the poster child for fake and replica Ferrari and Lamborghini cars, likely thanks to the rebodied submodel called the Pontiac Mera and the coachbuilt Zimmer Quicksilver. Now when you see a Ferrari Testarossa or Lamborghini Countach drive by, you have to look extra closely to be sure it's the real thing, and not a Pegasus in a Prancing Pony's (or a Bull's) clothing. Does this make the Pontiac Fiero the king of kit cars?

Quick Notes: I don't actually consider the Quicksilver or the Mera to be kit cars, but rather production models with very certain circumstances surrounding them. However, the Mera body was used to produce kit car components, and this video also features the Aldino, a kit you can buy to put on a Fiero frame. This video also features several other offtheshelf Fiero kits and a handful of totally custom jobs and body kit parts.

And yes I'm experimenting with new thumbnail styles, hoping to make something eye catching.
