The video is on this site, just search for it. The Fit is modified heavily though.

 

LOL... I found the video. Stock s2k + bad driver (just look at the lines he takes around the course) = bad results.

That's a cool looking Fit though.

 

Point #1: Power

The Spoon Fit has about 125hp, and lets just say it weighs 2000lbs. Thats ~500 lbs of weight savings. Very unrealistic.

16lb/hp.

Stock Evo8 (USA specs, JDM are lighter and more powerful):
3300lbs/271hp (not to mention it actually has this stuff called torque)
12.1lb/hp

Point #2: Grip

Spoon fit - 205/xx/15 Advans
Evo8 - 235/xx/17 Advans

Fit - FWD
Evo - AWD

the evo has better weight distribution, especially when you compare it to a stripped out FF hatchback.

Put simply, the Evo, the S2000, the RX-7 and the whatever other real cars you want to throw at the Fit simply TROUNCE it in EVERY CATEGORY. PERIOD.

Just because something is the hot new trend doesn't mean it can suspend the laws of physics.

Somebody try to argue. Please.

 

^^ but... but .... uh... the Fit handles so well.

 

we need a :lol: smiley up in here.

 

I know... We should make suggestions for a "" or a ""

okay, I'm done. bye bye.

 

This statement is among some of the dumbest statements made on this site, between the Fit is faster than an NSX and the S2000 is not a good racing platform.

 

but I'm bias too

 

Wow.. Who said those things? That's just retarded. hahah

 

I don't remember, too lazy to search. Some guy said that the Spoon Fit is faster than the NSX a while ago. And more recently, another moron said that the S2000 is not a good platform to build a race car from. Its the thread where the same idiot was bashing the Amuse S2000 GT1.

This forum is pretty funny. We should start a collection of funny quotes...

- Fit is faster than the NSX.

- Fit can overtake the S2000 in the corners.

- S2000 is not a good racing platform.

- Amuse S2000 GT1 sucks.

- The Fit is a gas guzzler.

- The Fit is overpriced.

- I don't speed at all, I only go 5MPH over when travelling.

HAHAHAHA

 

Okay, I'll bite. Unfortunately, your only arguable statement is "whatever other REAL cars..." I believe just because it is slower and doesn't handle as well, and will get eaten alive by every other car you mention, that doesn't make it any less real. I believe in every country the Jazz/Fit is sold it is classified as an automobile.

HAH! Gotcha

 

You win

Is that your bike in your avatar?

 

Yes it is. It's a 92 VFR400RR (NC30). I got it in December with 11k km on the odo, and am deciding how to repaint it (I know I'm no Nicky Hayden). I think I am going to go black with the big red Honda Wing. Also have Braking Wave disks (all three), sintered metal pads, and Pazzo adjustable levers on order. A new rear shock is next, and maybe some progressive springs. I also got the 17" NC35 rear wheel, so I can have more tire choices.

I probably won't be modding the Fit much when I get it, because all my money will be going into the bike. That's what I take to the track.

That's probably more information than you needed, but I LIKE my bike.

Cheers.

 

All that money into your bike and the Fit will STILL take you in the corners

I ask because I've seen a guy with a Repsol Honda around here and its soooo sexy. I wish the US got bikes smaller than 600cc that are actually sporty .

 

The emphasis of the Spoon developed car was for ENDURANCE racing. This category is more effected by fuel economy and tire wear than other forms of racing. That is, my friend why the car kept up with a "stock" nsx. Pit stop frequency and times would be drastically different!!!

 

I'm just making sure that noone actually believes that any kind of Fit is faster than any of those sportscars that were mentioned.

 

Best thread ever! It's educational with a dash of harsh reality.

 

Ouch! That hurts, but I can outbreak, and out accelerate, so I should be able to take it. Provided it's a clean, dry track.

I rode my friends ZX600RR last summer. It was so fast. It felt about the same as a 1000 from just a few years ago. The people buying bikes in the states think anything under 600cc is for beginners. I guess they have never watched 125 or 250 GP racing. It's a shame. Aprilia has a beautiful little 450cc v-twin racing in enduro and super motard. It would make an incredible canyon carver/hooligan bike. The June 2006 Cycle World has a story about the the Aprilia dirt-bikes, and says repli-racer with the engine punched out to 550cc might be in the offing by sometime in 2007. Keep your fingers crossed.

 

Haha I was totally kidding about the Fit thing, just poking fun at the people talking about the Fit vs S2000.

And yeah, I really am disappointed that we dont get any small-displacement sportbikes. Super Motard is so awesome. I went to a race the other day but there werent really any good photo spots on the super motard track

 

Anyone race another sub-compact, i.e., xA, Yaris, Aveo, etc.???
