Great drift car

Misthael · 06-13-2004, 02:39 PM

This is a Ford Shogun. It's a limited edition car modeled after the Ford Festiva but it is RWD and has a Ford Taurus SHO engine in the back. I'd take this car any day.

haha sorry but that looks funny reminds me of a kitted geo metro

Spy001 · 06-13-2004, 02:46 PM

hah that would be awesome stock, if it really can drift. pull up next to some guy in a tricked 240 and take it sideways around a couple turns, think about how much that would get them

Misthael · 06-13-2004, 02:51 PM

That is stock. Stock for a Ford Shpgun. Do you mean put that engine in the Festiva? I don't think it fits without the widening.

ever heard of the renault r5, id eat that.

Spy001 · 06-13-2004, 05:12 PM

haha oh i see...i thought it was highly modded, but yeah...a sliding festiva would be wicked.

Misthael · 06-13-2004, 05:32 PM

Renault R5 Turbo is one of my fav cars evar. Actually it's one of my dream cars. There's a black one that was in a mag once. I'd want that one.

probly drifts as well as most mr2's.....

which is suck.

Misthael · 06-14-2004, 05:25 PM

Maybe. But it fo sho would be a great rally car.

mranlet · 06-18-2004, 08:10 AM

From what I understand, it's more of a build-it-yourself kit. There are only a few of them around, and although it uses a number of parts from Ford Performance, it isn't a factory-made car but more of a kit-car.

Don Alexander used a SHOgun in the first edition of "How to Make Your Car Handle" as a project car. He wrote that it has an incredible amount of oversteer without mega-wide rear tires. I guess if nothing else it could do a lot of power-overs, but with such a short wheelbase and and very inward (low) polar moment of inertia, it would probably be a spin machine!

Its a Freaking festiva I couldnt drive that for any reason.. Id rather walk.. Its like A heart of a dragon but its still a festiva

With the way gas prices are going, you may be singing a different tune in a few months...

Think of the power/weight ratio though! It also pulled 1.1Gs in the book if I recall...

its still doesnt make it no more then a Freakin Festiva or Fiesta or whatever LOL ill pay the extra money for gas versus putting extra money in a fiesta

SilverGhost · 06-18-2004, 11:38 AM

Still a festiva brotha LOL

If you don't like it because of the image, that's cool. When it comes down to it, this car can hang with the best of them.

As for noise, I believe there is a window between engine and cabin.

Thankyou for the extra info mranlet. I was just passing by quickly at the show and my dad forwarded the info to me so it wasn't exactly right.

So what exactly is wrong with a Festiva that hasn't been fixed in the Shogun??? You can't say it doesn't have power. Even with the oversteer the suspension is probably better than a Festiva. It's not a festiva, it's a Shogun. Eh. I just feel like ranting.

77ZETA · 02-21-2006, 09:58 AM

Here is a 12 second festiva,I know its just a festiva but efford has been put in it,Just like any other car they can be modded too.

Enjoy!
