I know the old school 900 turbos had better 30-50's and 50-70's than any Ferrari of their time. Which would be realistic passing speeds. 0-60 they weren't the greatest, but real world driving they were top notch.

listen to the name;Festiva,that kind of says it all,boss.
ps.the people you know that drive the cars with250k miles probably arent the most affluent mothers are they?
maybe some day god will bless you with a festiva but until then youre just going to have to settle gawking at the posters of them you hang on your wall.






FESTIVA!
haha. damn dude . get an education then come back and post . Ive owned a festiva . it was the most dependable car ive ever owned (and ive had plenty of cars from 1955's to 2002's). ford over engineered them . maybe someday God will bless you with something better than a rattle trap piece of crap Thunderbird someday . i know all about those junkers.

ok why is that guy getting on a car thats good .. if the festiva is a car that run for 200,000 miles thats a good car it dosen't have to be fast or some turbo monster to be a good car and if the people that own one can are not that affluent then so! there also may not into tuning cars either! sorry i just hate people that thing there all that because they got a little money , just a bad way to think

Wtf? Whats wrong with the Corvair? Give props to Chevy for being as far away from their usualy self as possible...rear engine flat 6 turbo? Badass in my book. The Corvair truck is badass too...side ramp instead of tailgate? Rear engine pickup didnt sell well but I think its quite a unique interesting car
