Someone I know was at the Racetrack to find out how fast his Modified Ford Festiva was. Here he is line to have the car Teched:
He has a Mazda B6 1600cc swapped in with a nice set of headers, Also a home ported head along with an aftermarket cam that uses the stock valve springs:
Here he is making his first pass:
He has a nice set of Potenza tires which help traction however I feel that his Rev limiter set at 6500rpm is holding this car back.
Any how, it turned a best time of 17.38 @77 mph
A fellow who was racing his Diesel Smart parked beside me in the parking lot. I heard that the Smart car did something like 22.00 second 1/4 mile times!

). There is a woman that "races" one of the Smart Roadsters in a particular class under the same event that I compete in. I took it for a drive one day and was quite surprised at how well it handles. It is VERY light and you can fit huge rubber under them. The gearbox was no good and it needed about 300 more hp though.
