Look, my Mother works at McDonalds, and she's very good at what she does. Just because "de tuk r jerbs" and I'm not employed now doesn't mean BHO won't come through and get me on staff somewhere. Once that happens, I'm buying one of these puppies and turbo charging it with a Greedy kit. I'm gonna run 12 psi and that should give me like 300hp to the wheels. I hope to click off a 15 at the track (blazing fast, IMO) and be able to dodge some cones.

Your not a real enthusiast unless you hit the track.

Look...the Fit is not that slow. The average American car right now is 0-60 in 8.5 sec (muscle car territory in the 70's). The Fit can match that so its not slow. It's just average, but above average when it comes to mpg (its true shining quality)

Actually the Fit is a tough competitor on small autocross courses....

I won't even tell you how popular they are in racing in Asia.
Actually I will...watch and learn...

You have a problem. The Fit will not stand a chance against my 2010 Camaro, but it is not supposed to. It is no slouch either. Get thee to a dealer...fast.

The automatic version sounds just like my old Mitsubishi Mirage. I thought there was something wrong with it when I got it but it turned out you just needed the revs up to 3000 before acceleration was at it's best.
