Bought a C7 Corvette but still want a Festiva again

[Grey Vw]

Hey guys I'm back. A lot has changed, seems like Charlie has his hands in everything around here😂 There are also tons of new names that I don't recognize.

This forum was my life before but I left after crashing the one in my sig. Well, I finally graduated college and got a real job and went after my dream car. Even after doing an autox day I still want another Festiva. I have a supercharger and headers ready for the vette to make 700hp but would much rather build a B6D Festiva and track it. It's not fun going fast in a car that people expect to be fast. I loved shocking people in my old Festiva's.

So I'm currently on the search for a Festiva so I may rejoin you guys in all the fun!htd

A big welcome back from another name you don't recognize. Nice 'Vette, but like you say "people expect it to be fast". That takes some of the fun out of it. When you get tired of it maybe you could let me use it for a month or two....LOL....just kiddin'. Hope you get back into the Festiva gamewelcomsign

There is a saying that is popular among the miata community.

It goes something like... its a lot more fun to drive a slow car fast, than it is to drive a fast car too quickly around a bend, over the curb, through a fence, and into the neighbors back yard

Welcome back. Got my festy less than 6 months ago and wonder how the PO or anybody ever parts with them.. Festy Love is Tried and True! Welcome back from a newb!

that's cool I love the new stingray and keep trying to talk myself out of/ into buying one i'm poor but they are coming down in price... i'm new to the festy game but so excited about them I hope to have a b6d swap and a b6t swap by this summer.. but in the back of my head, it's 'should I be investing in a corvette' so its awesome to hear a corvette guy wanting to come back to the festy world
whoot

Hello from one of the newest members here.

I understand the slow/fast paradigm. I have two motorcycles, one for each role. My mood on a given morning determines which set of keys I take with me. It is the same with my Festiva and my mildly massaged Ridgeline. Each vehicle serves a particular niche, and that's exactly how I prefer it.

[errjam]

why are you going b6d instead of b6t??

[Dragonhealer]

Welcome Back! That is a great car you have there!
As you are well aware, two weekends worth of road course track days, in tyres for the Vett = your killer B6T Festiva!

[Festiver]

Great Vette my uncle has the z06 one hell of a car welcome back looking forward to your build

Thanks for the welcome back. I drove my friends Miata and it is a polar opposite to driving the vette.

The Corvette is an amazing car that turns heads everywhere. The power is intoxicating too. But for confusing people the Festiva is king. Its about having fun, I can tell you I had less fun in the expensive Corvette than in my Festiva.

Nice!

why are you going b6d instead of b6t??

For the sake of simplicity and I have never done it before. I had a b6t car before. I just want a quick build to get out to the track.

Thanks for the welcome back! The Corvette is amazing. Yes, unfortunately I already chewed up one of my tires There is no way im going to keep tracking it

They are amazing cars. Thanks!

Festiva > corvette
That z06 only had 2k on it and already needed a diff lol. We have another customer that has wrecked his twice down at vir. They're stupid fast though.

[fastivaca]

Welcome back!! Part of your old Festiva still lives on as part of mine.

Welcome back! Congrats on finishing school, and buying you're dream car. We've been busy refining the Festy chassis even more since your last car. There are better tire choices now too. B6d Festy is a lot of fun, and cheaper to track drive than the tire hungry b6t.
