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

[DON SVO]

... 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!

[walth]

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.

[walth]

you should like replicate a corvette with the festiva body. lol

[Damkid]

I beat a few 03-04 mustang GTs at the track this year already lol

[walth]

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

Lol i just had thoughts about a boattail Festiva. To bad i have no time/no money/need mine for a DD

[Damkid]

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

[walth]

that'd be a sight to see!

Was that with the B6T? the 94-96 mph???

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.

So was I, The back of my festiva is covered in black crap from the exhaust tellin me it's runnin too rich, I'll get the kinks worked out yet and I should get some better times, hopefully :lol:
