More likely a thrown weight.  The tires only have a few thousand miles on them.  They have lots of tread.

The camber is way out on both sides.

Looks as if the tank will be coming out.  No Fiero for Christmas.

The tank is out.  As I suspected, one of the baffles is cracked.  Joy.

Oh.  The wheel on the right side is sticking out about half an inch too far.  I think it is hung up on the wheel seal.

Unfortunately, I have seen many Fieros that are driven with these types of issues.

I still think my Fiero is down on power.  Nothing statistical, but I can't break the rear wheels loose.  It goes, and is peppy, but it isn't as peppy as it was.

Yeah I can’t break my wheels loose too. Doesn’t have anything to do with it being a 4cyl. 😂

Mine did.  In first, no problem, and just a bit in second.

Hmm.... well that confirms I didn’t fell like I’ve been getting all 98 hp. I’ve driven heavier Honda’s with less hp and been able to break loose.

Mine has probably 160 HP at the wheels.  I mean, had.  It feels like 140 HP at the wheels.

98HP at the crank will not do it.

Oh.  I suspect torque breaks the wheels loose.
