Ford Festiva VS Geo Metro

FORD Festiva VS GEO METRO who would win ? I think it would be a close hard race :D . I give it to the FORD FESTIVA ;)

My friend's dad has a festiva. He's hilarious. He drives around speed-shifting and stuff.

Ford all the way

GOD, what are you talking about? Those two would be in close competition not a hard race! They can't race! hahahaha :D

ford festiva my ass!!

we joke about that car all the time at school in auto class

sayin that it is air cooled!!!

i think a geo metro wit the 1.0L I3 would open a can of whoop ass on that Ford POS edition :D

Tiny cars are great. They rock because you get to legally floor them everywhere you go, speed-shifting, taking turns way too fast and leaning the car way over, etc... :D

I actually found this on a Cavalier/Sunfire page...

I drive a swift, and it's basically the metro with grey bumpers and different logos, and I'd say the metro would win. Who cares which would win, it would be a fun race.

Man a go-cart would beat those two snails! :D

Yep that peddal power is hard to beat with your Niki's on and a big bottle of coke to keep your legs going for it.
You save lot's of time by not having to stop for gas, That's how you can get a bigger lead on the others. :D

I'll take the Kia over the Suzuki

HOLY SHIT! I laughed so hard reading that race. That was the greatest thing ever! :hehehe: :hehehe: :hehehe:

Road & Track actually did a test on that race back in the early nineties, but they're still waiting for them to cross the finish line :D

Well, not to flame on you or anything, but trying to decide who would win between two 20 second cars is kind of lame. If there was a god this is what would happen.

The two hamster cars would pull of the line. 10 Seconds later when they hit 30 mph they both EXPLODE!! That will teach those little cars to know their role! Muhahahahaha!!!!

Haha, I liked that story:D Oh yeah, I'd put my money on the Geo.

why the GEO?

FOrd Quality??

i think the GEO would be left in the dust, it gots an i3, go carts have bigger engines!!

i'd also put money on the geo, it is more aerodynamic thus creating less drag. but a ford aspire would be a different story!

sorry to bring up old topics, but i found this on another board and just had to post it.....

ULTIMATE POWER
I borrowed my wife's Geo Metro last night. One liter of raw power, 3
cylinders of asphalt-tearing terror on thirteen-inch rims. It's stock,
alright, nothing done to it, but it pushes the barely 2000 pounds of metro
around with AUTHORITY. I'm always catching mopeds and 18-wheelers by
surprise...

I was headed back from Baskin Robbins with my manly triple-latte cappuccino
blast ("No Cinnamon, ma'am, I take it BLACK"), when I stopped at a
streetlight. As the Metro throbbed its throaty idle around me, I sipped my
bold beverage and wiped the white froth my stiff upper lip. I was minding
my own business, but then I heard a rev from the next lane.

I turned, made eye contact, then let my eyes trace over the competition.
Ford Festiva -- a late model, could be trouble. Low profile tires, curb
feelers, and schoolbus-yellow paint. Yep, a hot rod, for sure.

The howl of his motor snapped my reverie, and I looked back into the
driver's eyes, nodded, then blipped my own throttle. As I tugged on my
driving gloves and slipped on my sunglasses (gotta look cool to be fast,
and I am *damn* cool, hence...), the night was split with the sound of
seven screaming cylinders...

Then the light turned... I almost had him out of the hole, my three
pounding cylinders thrusting me at least a millimeter back into my seat, as
smoke pouring from my front right tire... my unlimited slip differential
was letting me down! I saw in the corner of my eyes, a yellow snout
gaining, and I heard the roar of his four cylinders. He slung by me, right
front wheel juddering against the pavement, and he flashed me a smile as
his .7 extra liters of motor stretched its legs. I kept my foot gamely in
it, though, waiting for the CHECK ENGINE light to blink on in the one-gauge
(no tachometer here!) instrument panel. I saw a glimpse of chrome under his
bumper, and knew the ugly truth... He was running a custom exhaust --
probably a 2-into-1 dual exhaust ... maybe event cutouts! Damn his hot-rod
soul! The old lady passing us on the crosswalk cast a dirty look in our
boy-racer direction...

Yet still I persisted, with my three pumping pistons singing a heady
high-pitched song, wound fully out. Though only a few handfuls of seconds
had passed, we were nearing the crosswalk at the other side of the
intersection, and I heard the note of his engine change as he made his
shift to second, and I saw his grin in his rearview mirror fade as he
missed the shift! I rocketed by, shifting, and nursed the clutch gently in
to keep from bogging, keeping my motor spinning hot and pulling me ahead,
now trailing a cloud of stinking clutch smoke. Not ready to give up so
easily, he left his foot in it, revving, and I heard one wheel *almost*
chirp as he finally found second and dropped the clutch. We careened over
the crosswalk, now going at least 15 miles per hour. A bicyclist passed us,
but intent on the race as we were, neither of us batted an eye.

He pulled slowly abreast of me, and neck and neck, we made the shift to
third, the scream of motors deafening all pedestrians within a five foot
circle. He nosed ahead as we passed 30 miles an hour, then eased in front
of me, taunting, as we shifted into fourth. I was staring up the dual 6"
chrome tips of his exhaust, snarling, my cappuccino forgotten, as he lifted
a little to take the next corner.

I saw my opportunity, and counting on the innate agility of my trusty
steed, I pulled wide into the number two lane and kept my foot buried in
carpet. Slowly, I inched around him, feeling my Metro roll slowly to the
left as I came abreast in the midst of this gradual sweeping turn. I felt
the Geo ease onto its suspension stops, and felt the right rear wheel
slowly leave the ground - no matter, though, because my drive wheels, up
front, were pulling me through the corner, and around the Festiva ... The
Ford driver beat his wheel in rage as my wife's car eased past him on the
outside, my P165/54R13's screaming in protest, as we raced to the next
light. We coasted down, neck-and neck, to the red light. I tightened my
driving gloves, ready for another round, when this WIMP in the next car
meekly flipped his turn signal and made a right. Chevy (Suzuki) superiority
reigns!!!

I drove off sipping my masculine drink, awash in my sheer virility, looking
for other unwitting targets.... Perhaps a Yugo, or maybe even a Volkswagon
Van!
