Yeah that ought to fix the whole engine fire issue.

That is really cool. I heard someone makes a kit to convert Factory 5 Cobra replicas to electric, too. That would make an awesome autocross car.

That is ubber sweet. Funny thing is it looks like a manual shifter poking out of there.

I like the black roof. Pontiac should have done that.

You're right, the black roof works. It's surprising how many Fieros have wound up with electric drive trains.

I was puzzled by that as well.

Lots of electric conversions keep the OE transmission. They mate the the electric motor to the trans using an adapter plate, and usually get rid of the clutch.

They don't use automatics for many, many obvious reasons.

Sweet, I like it. I wonder how far it can go on a charge? Also wonder how much the set up weighs in comparison to the engine that used to be there.

I want this one:

I'd want it even more if it was just a stock EXP Sport Coupe, though.

people will build electric Fieros, but i don't think i've ever seen an electric Citation that uses the same rear suspension as the Fiero, only mounted in the front..
