  • So I took the Festkia up against a 2004 GT mustang...

    ... at an undisclosed track in Mexico, a 2004 GT found out that from a 20 punch it'll need to get up to about 90-95mph to finally pass the Festiva.

    Damn aerodynamics!

    interesting, very interesting. blows my mind too cuz my dad has an 07 gt and it packs one heck of a punch when it's to the floor for a stock factory car.

      Thats my biggest complaint about the Festy, it has all the aerodynamics of a brick. Imagine how fast/fuel efficient you could make one of these if the were actually streamlined.

          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            that's great. 1/4 mile or 1/8? Either one I guess you'd probably still win...

                1/4 mile I only got him by .2 seconds but it's still a win, my MPH has been very consistant at 94-96 MPH, it's my 60ft times that are hurtin me though

                      Festivas and aspire I believe have a drag coefficient of .36, the same as a new edge mustang. The fact that the frontal area of a festy is small helps a lot.

                      Block the grill, lower the car, make skirts over the back wheels, use LRR tires, and put a belly pan under the car. That coefficient will probably drop to .30 at least. If you wanna go crazy build a "kammback" or boat tail. Thats sure to draw attention but your hwy mpg will go way up.

                        That's with my KLZE festiva, i trapped 98 mph with my stock B6T, my V6 isn't quite running right so I expect better times with it once I get the proper ECU in it

                          that's super slow, something's wrong. I hope you get it sorted! I was expecting 103-105mph trap speeds from that car right off the bat.
