Plus have you taken into consideration the weight difference of a deville and fiero? Theres a 1000 lbs difference. I would seriously doubt any deville would be running a 12. But whatever floats your boat. Hop back in your deville and think you're fast, Speed Racer.
And what exactly is your daily driver? And by the way, your idea of "alot better handling than a DeVille" is skewed, considering the ridiculous shit you've done to your car to make it handle much worse than stock. The weight difference between a Fiero and a DeVille is not 1,000lbs, unless you toss stupid shit like a half dozen 50lb batteries, hydraulic pumps, and big speakers in your car. My DeVille weighs less than the new Z06. Your DeVille weighs more than the new Hummer. See the difference there? My DeVille is sponsored for racing (you know, like real racing, with turns), your DeVille does... What again? Has a paintjob and some hydros? That certainly qualifies you as an expert on performance, doesn't it? Especially with your "ceramic plate the intake and throttle body" ideas that are completely idiotic in concept. How exactly, could you explain, would coating the intake manifold with anything increase combustion temperature? Much less the throttle body...

Just remember, at the end of the day, you need hydraulic pumps to make your DeVille get three wheel motion. I can lift my front right tire off the ground because of the combination of power and sheer grip my car has.
