Fiesta Viper beater?
Were European Fiestas made in Mexico too?
I'd like just a small toke of whatever the graphics designer was smoking when he laid on the paint. Brutal.
Is the Bimmer holding it back or is that simply an example of precision parking??

to be honest the car minus the over the top stickers an huge intercooler looks to be a well thought out build.
ditch the stickers and mold in a decent FIMIC lower on the car and you would have a decent older sport compact.

Is that it? 12.9 in a 1/4? I know of an 11 sec. GMC Sierra C3.
Or a 12 sec 06 SS Silverado.
Making a full size truck do that is a feat.
Kinda neat in its own way. The car that is.

you are missing the point, this is 12 sec FWD XR2 on street tires.

The feat is a fat wallet. At $60K, it better get into the twelves. Creating a 13 second steeter on a budget is feat worthy. Remember, in England fuel prices are rude so building a 1.3 litre FWD econobox is a challenge.

With 'only' 115mph traps, its not going to wiping any smugs of the 2nd or 3rd generation Viper owners. The might be surprised it keeping up but you would need 120+ to do that. Don't get me wrong 115 mph is moving through the 1/4 mile, its just not as fast as most Viper from a roll.

I wasnt talking about sheer power to fuck Vipers I meant the weight and handling. That thing has had (all the hardly any lmao) weight taken out of it..
He has run 11's in it on slicks and hes only ran it a few times.. He also has a 900BHP skyline and when you consider that the UK's rolling road shows less HP than a USA Dyno that car is probably kicking around 400 USA WHP in a car about the size of a jam sandwich
Yeah I would personally make some kind of rounded cover for the IC units, but Joe (the owner) was never about looks always power. When the guy was 17 he had a Ford Anglia from the 1960's with a Burton Lotus powerplant. It produced over 250 WHP and that was 16 years ago..
Car mad, him and his brother. His brother has a 700 WHP RX7 so theyre no strangers to speed and power
