  • Festy in first autocross with new suspension, a comparison

    This shows how flat the Festy is handling these days, this was a HARD left, and was a good indicator of how well cars were doing the corners




    Have had 6 Festys... and counting...

                        All those other cars have a passenger, who would want to make a run with an extra 200 lbs?

                          Actually, I have made ALL my fastest runs except one, with a 150-200 lb. Passenger.. in my car, it helps the drive tire (passenger front of course) get traction..

                          Driving makes a LOT more difference than the car or weight. I beat Corvettes that are MUCH MUCH faster than my B6 Festy..

                          Until you are an EXCELLENT autocross driver, the difference between fast and not so fast times is ALWAYS the driver. People really underestimate how slow they will be in their first season of Autox. Never did see a newbie in a fast car show up and kick butt, but I have seen countless FAST car drivers walk away dejected that a Festiva, or stock Civic kicked butt and took names... LOL...

                              Love it!!

                              i put my 150/125lb coil overs on GR2's in on sunday (easter), took it for a test drive yesterday, it was like falling in love with my car all over again, i'll get pics up sometime over the next few days! Now when i stomp on the brake its not like doing an endo, cornering and accelerating are infinitely improved, i can only imagine how flat your car must be handling!!!
