    100% fake. So so many details are wrong. The only question becomes what is the BIGGEST giveaway??

    -mick

    first it is not long enough, the front end is too high (even with the lift up), the nose is to short and pointy..AND THE BIGGEST OF ALL...the gas door is on the wrong side...Looks like the muffler is sticking out near the tail pipe on the right side..I guess it is on both sides..Like said Mick so many things...But as he asked..it is the gas cap door!

    Fake. Spoiler, height, wheels, and even the exhausts.

    I don't know why foks feel the need to buy these things. As much as they cost nowadays, you could...you know, actually get a decent sports car.

    Not at all. I like Fieros. Hell, for the cost to turn one into a Diablo, I bet you could turn a Fiero into a pretty badass machine.

    Well... as an ex Fiero owner (original 1984 owner), I prefer my D Roadster.... In all seriousness, at the final year model of the Fiero, they finally got it right. But it was a hell of ride and a long ride getting there.

    Hard to say for sure but odds are given its short wheel base. Also explains the (wrong) gas tank filler location.

    Dear Lamborghinisti,

    This is a fake one. As a Diablo roadster owner, I noticed:

    Roof too high from back engine cover

    Rear window too large ( my real one could use this )

    Rear wheels too narrow

    C pillar on door too high ( real one goes half way an curves back)

    The winner is Chris....fuel filler on wrong side :)

    Lets add a few more items....

    rear brake and turn lenses flipped.
    rear fog lights too small.
    rear bumper is hybrid coupe and roadster.
    front air damn has too many lights and air inlets are just wrong.
    exhuast is spread around a misplaced tangling tranny - that to me is a big tell.
    short wheel base has shortened the side pods - thus missing 2 "gills" (in front of rear wheels).
    wing is wrong.

    etc etc

    husker,

    I have to verify the Fake- a TON of things are off on it too, not even a good replica at that.. I would say its a fiero base.

    Does ANYTHING on that car look right? I've seen wider tires on wheelbarrows.

    You might want to hold off on that until we see a few of the "details" a bit closer.

    A lot of these cars look "okay" from 50 feet but when you look under the hood they're not even as nice as the Fiero they used to be.
