so what is the max speed you have hit with your 2011 fiesta?
I hit 180kph the day I picked up the sedan, I wasn't pushing it too hard because it was -20c outside and there was a bit of wind. How fast have you been in your fiesta?
about 90... actually, I think I've only crossed 4500 RPM once.
I'm still babying it in at around 1k miles. I'll let loose after the first oil change. I honestly can't wait to get some better rubber on this car and tear loose on track.
I'm guessing he doesn't have the turbo model. I drove a '91 MR2 turbo with a manual trans in high school a few times and that baby was quick! If I remember right they ran in the 14's for a 1320 stock and I had it up around 135-140 on a back highway.
75 is the fastest I've had mine...interstate speed limit and I have less than 1k miles on the car.
Actually, there have been cases where police have charged people with dangerous driving after they posted stuff on the internet (see link). It may not necessarily be police reading what people have done -- it may be other people reading the forum and realizing that the person is being a danger to the general public.
Otherwise, any posts on Fiesta Faction of illegal activities like street racing is a violation of our Forum Terms of Use.
I certainly hope everyone is testing out the top speed on the track and not on public roadways...

had a little bit of open road with the gf in hers the otehr day. did just over 100, let out bc we were coming up on our offramp. honestly. id say a stock one would do 115ish.
and to all the people breaking in their cars. i did 135mph with 12miles on my 08 mustang. it was fullbolt ons in 2 weeks with less than 500miles. was making 440whp @ 1k miles. had prob 20 passes down teh track by that time.
i still to this day at 62k miles have perfect compression and no issues
Actually had the Fiesta on a closed track loop the other weekend when we had out spot of warmer weather here in PA (it hit like 40 ). The Fiesta did 90 pretty effortlessly on the one straight and took the corners great even with the still stock suspension. Wife was impressed with the feel. I might have had it pushing 100 once or twice; ran out of room too fast on the one straight stretch. The electronic limiter is probably set to 110-115mph like it is on most standard consumption Ford products.
Even in Chicago, the average median speed is 70 MPH + so I understand. a lot of posts are in the 90+ MPH range; I don't think you can go that fast in rush hour traffic.
Hi, I'm new to this forum and actually don't own a fiesta or have ever owned one or even driven one! However I'm looking to get a new car very soon and the Fiesta is the only car I keep looking at that really entices me. Here's my dilemma, which do I buy!? I really like the ST but there's...
I've seen several posts referring to retrofitting cruise control using an OEM wheel, and a reflash of the GEM/BCM.
Can we please compile the information here?
It seems that folks outside of the USDM are doing this retrofit pretty regularly, I see no reason that we can't too.
Thanks.
I think sometime this year I'm going to say bye to my 2012 manual transmission Fiesta. I've enjoyed a fairly reliable 30-32 mpg in Bay Area stop-and-go traffic. I can still get 36-38 mpg plus on the highway, if I am careful to inflate the tires first. So it's been fine but its not a particularly...
This is not exactly a Fiesta question, but the car does share the same platform (frame/floorboard) with the Fiesta. I need an unbiased opinion from people who do not own the following cars. I can only keep one of the following cars.
I have a 2012 Mazda2 Sport 1.5L with the 5 speed manual...
