In a 1998 WS6 Trans Am (mostly stock, just some bolt-ons.) It was a really bad roll (I don't like making excuses, I accept my loss... but I was at that 50-60MPH range where WOT barely felt different from half throttle.) I looked at him like WTF? and he said he has a turbo on it, he wanted a sleeper "that no one would expect" (which... is the definition of sleeper.) I gave him a thumbs up and told him it was sick, and we went on our way.
My car's feelings are hurt though. A ******* Fiesta, really? Ouch. I'm about to take out a mortgage and start buying more car parts.
Lol a fiesta st...I have one...with a simple turbo kit and fuel they make 400 to the wheels and weigh 2700lbs...doing mine soon even though it's my beater.
If it was a Fiesta ST, you gotta watch out! They are super light, and are factory turbo'd. A few simple parts and tune you have a complete sleeper...as we all now know.
My wife has a Fiesta (N/A) and I love it, it's a cute little car, but I could never even pass a V6 90's Mustang in that thing. The power difference between that and my Trans Am is astronomical... so the sight of one flying by my mirror was surreal and horrifying, and completely unexpected. I didn't know a blower could cause that much of a difference, on that little i4FWD car. I do feel I could have taken it from a better roll, (he came flying out of nowhere, and when I realized he was WOT, I opened WOT when I was already in 3rd or 4th gear A4 @ 60MPH, and my car barely changed acceleration rate at all and he just kept going. I've been able to make this car go terrifyingly fast from 40-90MPH when it hooks up right, as I'm sure all of you guys know as F-body pros. This was NOT one of those times), but I wasn't given the opportunity so I have to let my armchair race ideas remain in check and accept my loss like a man.

Just an airlid and a Borla catback dumped before the muffler (I'm going to re-attach it when I get a cut out.) Haven't taken her to the track yet, just like playing with the locals. I actually put buslengths on a SRT-8 Magnum multiple times, which I guess was from the serious weight difference, considering I'm nowhere near 400RWHP yet. I expected to lose to the SRT-8 and win against the Fiesta. Both were surprising results to me. lol
Here's picture:
I plan on getting Longtubes, (deleting the cats), a tune, and finally a FAST air-intake manifold 90mm (and... a tune again.) I don't think I'm going to mess with cams and F.I. (although, if I start running into more money, you never know.)
