How fast have you gone in your Festiva?

[ejp2fast]

Now, I know i just posted a thread on improving gas mileage: http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=14723
but on the flip side I was wondering how fast everyone has gone in their beloved jewel? I have gone 75 mph which was floored with 3 cylinders (this was when my 3rd cylinder had 1/3 the compression it was supposed to) which isn't bad. I haven't topped out my festiva YET b/c of my recent engine rebuild, but they did only put 85 MPH as a max on the speedo for a reason...... Please also include engine if not already obvious.

BP w/ F-series trans, it got a bit scary so i slowed down

[nonamekid]

I've done over 105mph with the stock B3.

Stock B3 can hold its own most of the time. I think 85mph.

Been faster in the BP car, better gearing.

As fast as a B6 festy will go i guess... dino how fast that is! 85-90 is an at least once a week thing most of the time, i'd guess somewhere in the 110-120 range, maybe a bit more, is about as fast as i've had it. At one point i was on a slight down hill and i was going fast enough it was getting pretty squirly (on coilovers and aspire brakes) so i decided to slow down. On stock susp it gets a little scary at 90+

Exactly. All I can say is over 85.

113..... so far :twisted:

I've kept up with someone at 110 MPH. I know the car has more in it than that too, but it gets a bit scary there!
