Bob Mulry/Bill Dedman,

I remember the 'Iron Dukes' in the Fieros, but couldn't remember if the Fieros 'morphed' to the 'Quad-4s'. The 'Iron Dukes didn't quite live up to their namesake.

I do remember GM introducing the 'Quad-4' with a lot of fanfare and also seem to remember the racing community looking favorably at that engine. The question is: 'What happened?' Why did it fall on it's face?

When that engine was introduced, a whole new generation was being introduced to the Honda juggernaut. GM has never recaptured those kids and probably never will, IMO, a HUGE miscalculation on GM's part.
