Normally I would... But the GE8 is unstable at high speeds. Lots of steering corrections. Not very aerodynamic. Lol!

Speaking of maxing out... I have yet to max out my DB8. I've gone past 130MPH though.

185 and 16" rims. Did it to reduce rolling resistance to keep same mpg ratings of GD3.

Tests have shown the GE to have a longer brake distance, lower G's, and slower 0-60 than our GD's.

I don't think there's been official track comparisons, but i think some japanese people did some test. Forgot the results.

Fastest i've ever gone - clocked by my GPS as my MAX Speed - was in my 98 v6 camry. 133mph on a toll road! Felt SO sweet. Kept on accelerating too, but i had to exit and it felt SO slow when i got onto the city street.

Can't wait to go K-Series on the DB8. I'll be hitting 140MPH like nothing.

Post Thanks!

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for coming out to the meet! It was great to see so many Fit owners come together for a local meet like this...hopefully BJ and Pann will make this an annual thing

On a side note, we are in the process of putting together a Skunk2 Holiday Garage Sale/Open House/Dyno Day in the next few weeks and wanted to get some feedback from you guys since you are local. Would you rather see it on Saturday Nov. 29th (Thanksgiving weekend..also the biggest shopping day of the year) or Saturday Nov. 22nd?

All input greatly appreciated
Hopefully we can get a bunch of people together for this as well.
