Want to set some land speed records?

While we certainly see some crazy cars while perusing Facebook Marketplace, nothing could have prepared us for this 1984 Pontiac Fiero GT recently listed in Prairie City, Iowa. First off, the list price of $75,000 is enough to make you aware either the seller created the listing while drunk or there’s something very interesting going on under the skin. Fortunately, it’s the latter.

Right up front, the seller discloses the factory powertrain has been replaced by a GE T-58 helicopter turbine converted from shaft drive to thrust. An afterburner is included for when you want to teach somebody using nitrous a lesson.

Before you go thinking this is just some straight-line drag car for those who have suicidal tendencies, the seller also makes it clear this thing can corner. After all, it makes use of thrust vectoring kind of like what fighter jets use to outmaneuver opponents in the air. And that’s an analogy we never thought we’d use when talking about a Fiero.
