Maybe 3.5 Fieros.
I am a mid-engine fanboy. Europa, MR2, Fiero... etc. In many ways the Fiero is the most pleasing to the eye, and I think if made a hot rod maybe the most practical in terms of features, comfort, and safety, etc.
GM always quit too soon on so many concepts. Corvair, Fiero, etc.
In reply to Purple Frog :
I drove one around a few times in the mid '90s. Kinda a neat car despite it's (low) Tech4. The speakers in the headrest were interesting.
a supercharged 3800 would have been nice! Up till this year, I'd gotten heavy enough, and hurt enough, to have had a problem with the size. But I'd love to try one again!

I've seen this done. It is in fact nice
Haven't seen one in person, but have read great things. Drove the little econo car version back before I discovered the upgraded Buick 231, so then, would have preferred a SBC, and just didn't click with those swaps. Now? 3800SC without a doubt!!!

Mid-engine fanboi here too. The story of the Fiero is quintessential GM, and is pretty interesting. There was such potential, if only the bean counters had half a brain. By time GM fixed the issues it was too late. I would love to find a nice 3800 swap car.
There's nothing like the inherent balance and feel of mid-engine. I've had many. As much as I love to buy and sell cars, there's one in my driveway that isn't for sale...
