From what I've heard Fieros are expensive to insure. They have fairly flimsy fiberglass bodies that will provide very little protection in the case of an accident. But like the others said: do your research, and don't rush into anything!

Ive seen this done.. The automotive engine class at the College I attend did it as a fun project. When done the SC sis only 2 inches from the back glass. They had to massivly stregthen the frame. Its funny because before they put the snad bags in the front the car lifted the front end about 1-2 feet off the ground.

I helped troubleshoot one at my buddies shop with an L-67 in it.
That engine compartments was TIGHT. I mean like REAL close in places.
The SC seemed to cause some heating issues with the stock cooling.
It was a fast little car though and handled pretty good.
