Last night I came across a car that looks just like a Festy. But the only id bage wash on the dash that said Chevorlet. What is it? I'll post picks later. It had hobbiest plates dual exhaust turbo & intercooler. Looked pretty cool.

Probably the Sprint. Someone on here owns a Sprint Race Car!
This isn't it, but it is a Turbo Sprint.

I believe there was also a quite rare pontiac version of the sprint called a firefly that was turbocharged as well. neat cars either way, i think they were more suzuki than chevrolet though?Last edited by IdealSociety; 05-16-2013, 11:24 PM.1992 Festiva...

I'm about to buy one... the Suzuki version at least. Check out my build thread for details... it too is a 1.0L turbo intercooler!1988 Chevy Sprint Turbo 997ccComment

Not rare, just Canadian. Fireflies are the most common Suzuki Cultus derivative around here, we also got the same versions you guys did. The turbo was a pretty rare option on all of them though.Originally posted by IdealSociety View Post
The convertible option must have been pretty popular on the Firefly. I've seen quite a few.
You know what's really rare? The Pontiac Sunrunner. I've only ever seen about 5 in my life. And I've only seen one of the GMC version of the Tracker.Last edited by Tommychu; 05-16-2013, 11:59 PM.Comment

According to the Wiki Page the Sprint was only sold in the Western U.S, so it's not only Canadian ones that pop up around here in the eastern half of the country.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

Wow that's pretty much exactly what mine will look like. He shaved the decals and emblems... changed out the intercooler, and deleted the turbo grill too. I can do without the weight of a dual exhaust and the air holes in the bumper, but to each their own. Sick ride... with an intercooler and exhaust that large, he can easily push the stock turbo up to 12-15 psi if his fuel system can handle it. On these cars, that's good for 110-120WHP from a 1.0L with ease.1988 Chevy Sprint Turbo 997ccComment
