Anyways there doing another challenge this time with cars. They will be using readers cars. the challenge this time is 1/4 ET, Brakeing, Power to weight ratio, Track racing, and also a endurance drive through L.A.. I figure the festiva is the perfect car for this challenge. I submited my festiva as a entry i think the festiva he exactly what they want in a small turbo sleeper package! well heres my entry for tell me what you think

    I think the Festiva is a car not to be laughed at, especially for the Castrol Syntec top challenge. The car has an awesome power to weight ratio with its little 1.8 turbo Mazda motor. The car will be an out standing 1/4 mile contender with its low weight and sleeper appearances. The Festivas are gaining lots of popularity in track racing because of there superb handling and with such a short wheel base it can corner like no other car! The car will also give exceptional Gas millage and reliability. i have all the parts to replace every nut and bolt on the car. I originally got the car for $32 dollars on Ebay. the econobox reputation will fool the competition, but they will fear it in the end

                  I fixed a few things, but it may have be too late;

                    The G25mr outta a 95-97 sephia is reportedly a stronger/better design than the other ones. I have pic's that show the additional gusseting and such.

                    Hey hot_wheels does that mean you are going to get it running
