  • Does anyone know How

    Ok just a question, but does any one know how fast a stock B3 Festiva w/auto would run out at.

    The question is being ask, because I received a ticket on the way home this morning and the officer said I was doing 93 in a 70mph
    but wrote the ticket for 88 in a 70mph, which I do not believe is possible.

    This car is stock orig. except for the 13's on it nothing else has been changed or done to make it go that fast.
    But did have a good laugh after he left and was reading the ticket to my wife, she had the best comment on it "NO Way in hell that little
    car was doing 93 or 88mph" LOL.

    So just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this. Thanks Laughing all the way to court LOLrasm

              Never topped out the wife's auto with 13's but it will do 80 real easy. You should go get a 1/4 mile slip to go with it ...framed of course !
