Honda Performance Development Fit to take on Pike's Peak this weekend.

I like the idea of a Fit geared more for serious driving instead of serious scraping on every driveway entrance.... That reminds me, I need to go out and reattach one side of my front bumper back onto to the fender.

I would also like to point out that there is a Mazda 2 running the climb to the clouds on mt. Washington today. I love to see other "B-spec" cars getting out there and being seen! There is also a 2wd rally prepped fiesta running the mt. Washington race, that's cool to see as well. I'd love to see someone start running a Fit in Max-Attack too.

the HPD HONDA FIT came in first place in Exhibition class! James Robinson did an excellent job piloting the fit up pikes peak! i actually saw the car zoom up on the live cams...then i saw it come down. it looked so awesome! the official time will be posted tomorrow. and btw, nobuhiro "monster" tajima broke his own world record, he blasted up the mountain past the checkered flag at 9min.51.287sec!!! first time in history anyone has gone up pikes peak under 10 minutes! and that in a SUZUKI SX4!

Electric cars do have the advantage of having gobs of torque and not losing power due to altitude. I'm just happy to see these cars out there doing something other than auto-x or getting slammed for looks.

Don't be disappointed. Electric vehicles have great low end torque, which is important on a climb where your momentum is constantly getting squashed by hard corners. And electrics won't suffer at high altitude like gas engines will. I have to believe the 1.5L was huffing and puffing in the last sections of that climb.
