i believe thats pretty close to topped out, dont you? :lol:

[geezerstiva]

hmmm... why didnt that work?

[Festiva_tunner]

97mph I would guess

[nonamekid]

I have had a stock festiva to 105+. It is hard to tell how fast you are going once you pass 85, unless you have a tach.

YEAA!! :headbang:

I buried the speedo on my 93 efi 5 speed, then the the tach kept climbing, then after it climbed some more the speedo needle started bouncing of of the trip reset. :shock: The wipers were dancing too. :twisted:

93 stock festiva, ran with a couple of friends from orlando to daytona beach down I-4, less than 1000 miles on her, did 113 with a draft, according to both their speedos........

[Damkid]

everytime i try to bury my speedo my festiva wants to wander all over the road and at 160+KPH (100+MPH) it gets a bit scary on a back road

[scitzz]

Oh, she was a gallpoing goose, alright!

That confirms somebody else here who claimed 113 on radar for a stock efi 5 speed.

I paced my buddy with a digital speedo and he said I got up to 109 in a stock 91 festy. Not draft assisted tho

[scitzz]

Yeh, we all had CB's ( remember those?) and it took awhile to go from about 105 to 113

[93 FordFestiva93]

i snipped my speedo needle shorter, so it can go allll the way back to zero if it wants. i havent broke my 111 mark yet, i need balljoints.

[Festiva_tunner]

I ran 97 in mine four hour trip in bout 2 I buddy behind me could only go 97 his motor cut out at 98 lol

A stock five speed will top 100mph without vibration or being all over the road. Noname is right, top speed for a five speed on level ground, no wind is about 105 maybe a little faster with a tail wind and a slight downgrade. If your car is a death wish at that speed you need to fix it. Here is my vid. Not meant to prove top end but to show what RPM= What MPH. It was near 90 without any trouble at all. I have no reservation about it period. Cause I know the car is sound. Maybe packrat could get us a radar and put this argument to rest .
