I don't thinks he knew you were kind of half joking about racing cars off road.

Anyways...
I agree...now this is off roading. Not gravel/dirt roading...

yo last year for the DMV (DC, MD, VA) Mega Meet, i took my car to 110 going up against Acura TL and CL-S so much FUN!!! but now with a few more mods, we'll see what happens this weekend for the East Coast HONDA Meet!!

 

Ok. Attempt #2 - the fit is not very entertaining as a straightline car. It is what would be called "unfast" in NewSpeak. Pushing it to its limits in a straightaway means holding te pedal down and waiting until it creeps up to higher speeds, watching the spedometer creep upwards like a slowly filling coffeepot.
It shines on twisty roads, where the lack of significant body roll and quick steering make it zip around corners like a MarioKart. Pushing to the limits in the corners will have you sweating as you hear the tires start to chirp and scream in protest, knowing that with FWD, you can't dial in any power-oversteer. it has great seat bolstering, good aightlines, and you can keep it revved into the powerband and have a bit of fun gunning it out of the corners. That's where the Fit's magic lies. Different strokes for different folks.

And as I mentioned, the bike has taken the thrill out of gunning a slowish car on a straightaway. And yes, the risk is a large part of the adrenaline rush. Who gets a major thrill cruisig at Mach .85 (~500 mph) in a passenger jet?

 

Not cruising, but love the feeling at take off.. mad torque yO lol

 

The amount of speeding on public roads in this thread is

 

i maxed my fit out at 125 mph on i-95 going down to VB. i must say it was awesome and had no problem with handling what so ever as a matter of fact it handled better at 125 then my old exploder handled at 90-100. anyways cant wait til the east coast honda meet saturday!

 

^ haha i must agree with the speeding on public roads...

but once i was with 2 of my friends/neighbors. they both drive mini vans haha and they always race when theyre together, but we were driving home and the road we live off of is like a 2 miles straight away but theres 2 lights, it was like 1 in the morning and when we came to the light i knew they were gonna race, so i was like wth ill go fast for once. we all took off, i was behind them since its only 2 lanes and once there was a gap between them i squeezed threw them then took off! i got to like 80 then saw the light was red so i started to downshift, then it turned green when i was in 3rd, so i just gunned it and went up to 100 then my neighborhood came up so i had to stop

 

People! Don't race or speed on public roads. It's illegal and you're endangering yourselves & others.

If you want to test out the max of your car then go to the track.

 

great read, very nice my friend.
Just got back from Orlando.
140 in a car, 130 on a motorcycle, but what is an amazing thrill is 130 on a frozen lake on a snowmobile. Especially the 25 mile long lake Gogebic in the Michigan U.P.

 

I hit 165 in my wrx sti with no problem. My fit I have hit 100 but this car really never was intended for speed. The whole "sport" badging is mostly just the styling and modified shift patterns.

 

You guys are crazy. I would never go that fast on a public road, except maybe in a completely desolate area, which means only a few places in the US.

btw - reading this thread over, my sarcastic reference to the fit being a sports car is stemming from this thread.

 

everyone has to take their car to the limit a couple times when their young. Its human nature, being a man, being young and stupid, etc. Then you grow up a little and stop the shenanigans.

 

Occam, your first post did read pretty harsh, but nice clarification.

I've had it up to 90 once or twice, but around here most people are doing between 75 and 85, so you have to move just to keep up usually.

 

Modded STi?

 

Good to know speedmeter is wrong...according the speedmeter my max was around 190 km/h but it would go faster.

Guys, what are penalties for speeding over there.
We have speed limit on a highway 80 mph (130 km/h).
If you are speeding for more than 30 mph (50 km/h) the penalty is at least $350 which is actually very little.
If you are speeding for more than 19 mph in an urban area, speed limit is 31 mph, the penalty is at least $1200.
In each case you loose your driving licence for some time.
For dangerous driving (overspeed for more than one time and if you cause dangerous situation ... even if there is no consequences and damage you can go to prison for up to 3 years

 

Yeah it was heavily modded. It looked really clean. I have since sold it. I had Advan rims and a lot of other JDM goodies on it. Id post pics but I dont want to get screamed at by the fit faithful

 

Wow sounds fun I need to run my fit with you I'm shure I could keep up my top speed in my fit was 111mph lol

 

Nice to see that the Fit does well when pushed hard, that's good news for everyone, whether you push it to the limit or not.

 

Wow, I never knew so many people would read this when I posted... lol Anyway, yeah it was way fun to drive on a super quiet road where u see a car coming every 5 mins Also I was suprised that it had so many curves even though the road was flat as hell Like people said, don't drive fast (over the speed limits) on public roads Also, yes, I'm young and stupid But seriously, pushing GE8 100 mph on curves where say 45mph recomanded is so much fun... I still can't believe the Fit handled so well compared to other cars that we had. I don't think I'm doing any suspension work soon since I don't plan on pushing the car harder than what I did last weekend

 

Top whack on mine is 145 km/h before braking for the Casino Hairpin at Batangas Racing Circuit.

Sorry my car's slow. Good luck with it hitting 100 mph (160 km/h).
