So me and a few of my friends along with some fellow performance car enthusiasts were hanging at the local meeting spot. We were just leaving when a brand new ferrari f430 with dealer plates comes rolling in and does a little burn out in the water left by the sprinklers. I took this as him calling everyone one out... I quickly hopped in my fastiva and gave chase... Caught up to it and found a younger man on his cell phone giving me a little smirk... I dropped 2nd to let him know i meant business... We found ourselves a nice stretch of road and lined up at a stop light... Much to my surprise he didnt want to go from a dead stop... So i immediately became giddy with anticipation because he gave away his best advantage... We came to around 40mph and i dropped it in 2nd with my right foot ready to slam the floor... I hear the beautiful sound of finely tuned italian v8 and i pushed that gas pedal almost through the floor. My tires eager for traction but finding very little of it... The 4.3 liter symphony drowned by roar of my tial poring the excess exhaust straight to the ground and the loud repetitive pop of the rev limiter. I slam 3rd and my tires hook. I start gaining a slight lead... Now into 4th... Im starting to get a noticeable advantage... After what seems like an eternity its finally time for 5th...as i pass 120mph those beautiful curves can no longer be seen out my window but in my rear view mirror and they aren't getting any bigger... Once i realized victory was undoubtedly mine, i slapped the top of my steering column throwing on the hazards signaling his defeat... At the next light he rolled down his window and in a very heavy indian accent he said "that car is fast eh?" ... Ive been smiling for the last 2 hours and my face hurts but it wont go away... Im way to proud of the car i build

Awesome you have that story to tell.
Sounds like the guy in the F430 was either playing with you or he has NO clue how to drive the car. 483hp - 343lb of torque, 0-62 in 4 seconds, 0-100 in 8.3 seconds and top speed of 196+ kinda difficult to get a festy to compare to these numbers.
You need to get ahold of Top Gear and have them feature the festy, get it on the time slip list. That would be to cool.Hotrod Forums Directory * D&D Discbrakes 61-67 Econoline Conversions
