Great drift car

[Misthael]

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]

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]

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]

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

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]

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

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...
