Given that GL loves to do Indy Pace Cars.
Given that GL picks castings with body variations.
Given that GL seems to be picking distinctive models.
Given that it would be the first respectable version done in 1:64th (HW's version does NOT count)

Why not do the 84/85 Fiero 2M4 and GT? With two different tooled front ends you get two distinctive styles, more than one year can be done, you get the 1984 Indy Pace Car, With the mid engine hood scoop you get a SCCA version, rear wing and nose gets the GT and it's another Pancho.

No need to make it the size of a tank either. I would really like it done close in scale to the other GL castings so it's more than OK to be smaller in size.

Let Mike G go wild and do a flamed version too 'cause lord knows many of the '84's ended up that way, in flames. Just kidding.

Thoughts?

I drove a nearly new 2M4 and it was horrible. :( Typical GM got it right with the GT then due to the overall bad rep killed the car. ;) The GT would make an awsome casting done by anyone other than HW. :thumbsup:

We have a GT and pretty well know the shortcomings by now. To me the GT seems way underpowered so the 2M4 must have been a slug. The car on the other hand does handle like no other I've driven. Then again it specs were set by 80's fuel prices and economy so the rev and cam is understandable considering.


Style wise compared to other cars of the time it's like Beauty and the Beast, this being one of the beauties, I think.
