13 second passes!

[MEXTIVA]

I had time to upload some more videos of the Festiva last night,This passes are all granny shifting do to a shifter bushing going out of place,and that 13.3 was missing second gear same cause (bad bushing).I think their are worth posting though.We want to go 11's soon.My brother and I are thinking that a 35 shot and bigger slick's should do it.I'm in the market for a nos kit does anyone from here have a used kit or know were to get a new for a fair price?
I would also like to hear if you guys think its possible or would we need more things than just nos and bigger slicks?

Man I love it! Runnin 13's, thats great. Do some mods you might be able to get her in the 12's. Couldnt see the traction with the player I had, hows the traction? I wanna see more, and wanna see Festy's waste other cars at the drags. Way to go though, thanks for sharing. I hope to get me some clips up once my car is back together of me at the drags. :twisted:

Man...a 13 second quarter mile is faster than hell!! Congrats! And tell the camera man he did a good job! Its nice to see video of festys hauling ass....and actually be able to see it
AND WOW does the front end come up on that thing or what?!!? :shock: Is that with the coil over set up?! I just have the aspire suspension and it picks up the front end hard!

Nice work MEXTIVA!!! Keep it up

Yeah I saw some of those other clips here in the boards of him hitting high 12's, man that's sweet. I watched it over and over. Great job. We need more clips of you Festys at the drags.

man i would never guess you can get a festiva that fast. it will be interesting to see if you can hit 11's

[project b6t]

i freaking love that car

traction

cool man
for more traction use a stiffer set of rear springs
put all you can in front of the front wheel....
use a garden tractor battery (15$ at walmart)

low 12 in a short time....cool

good luck

Man...a 13 second quarter mile is faster than hell!!

eh, not really.... don't get me wrong, its a good time, and faster than 90% of cars on the road, but when you're at the track, a 13 still doesn't feel all that fast.... I know, my beetle's been running 13's for a while now, and while its cool, and quick, its not "faster than hell" lol..

[yvanlavoie20]

speed

15-16 sec...ok
14-15 sec...normal
13-14 sec...fast for street
12-13 sec... :shock:
11-12 sec... :twisted:
less than 11 sec...

this is my little idea

[JerseyJay1.8T]

yeah, i'd say yvan did a good job of explaining it

[EVOGUN]

Where is the nine second face? :cya:


Thanks :wink:

A 13 second car isnt that fast?!?!?!! Thats really fast.
And we are talking about a FORD FESTIVA, a 13 second festiva is like amazing! and to think thats faster than a Subaru STI and they cost 30 grand and a festy that has 3,000 in it runs faster. Youre not giving a daily driven 13 second car enough credit.

dude, i HAVE a 13 second daily driver... its not THAT fast. We're talking degrees of fast here, and comparing it to other times seen at the track.... 13's for a festy are impressive to most, but mex has already done 12's, and we've already established that once the B6T is in its not all that much of a challenge to run 13's. I'm not saying that 13's are slow, but you make it sound like "OMG thats so super duper incredibly fast", and its not. Its quick.
