Is the Fit electronically limited?
I was driving my '09 Fit Sport MT quite...uh...exuberantly...up in Vermont, and I was on a long straightaway with no other cars and perfect visibility in the middle of nowhere (in other words, don't try this at home) and decided to see how far I could push it. When I hit 105 (), I couldn't get it to go any faster. It felt less like I was hitting the limits of the car and more like I was hitting some kind of soft electronic limit. I tried it again and got the same feeling at 105, and never went a centimeter over. If anyone cares, I was at about 5000/5500 RPM ish at this point. Is the Fit limited? What's the top speed that you have hit (stock)?

The GDs which should be a tad slower, (wider tires, more aero drag, way less top end power) hit 118 for Car and Driver. I would conservatively estimate 120 for the GEs, though none of the mags have done a top speed test on the 09s, so being electronically limited is still in question.
