Default Ford Festiva Vs LS2 GTO **Daytime HD Video

Yes, a Ford Festiva, i'm only in high school. I built it myself.

First run was the only close run and you can still hear me spinning. I spin hard in 1st and 2nd. This was with the cutout closed or else I would spin way harder.

I had 2 passengers and he had one.

I got a ride along after and the GTO does not suck at shifting. Last race I short shifted trying not to spin but it slowed me down bad.

Turbo Festiva = Super Sleeper

(At 16 PSI I hope you have a MLS head gasket and ARP head studs!)

Pretty impressive if you ask me for what it is.

Is that GTO stock?

Nope, real real low budget. Stock non-turbo block because the turbo one failed already.

There are actually two more turbo festivas within an hour of me and both are in the 12s.
