yea i agree to that feeling, the running-out-of-RPMs feeling, ugh, they run out so fast hehe but thats because its low gears of course, and are you complaining? cuz i love the revving noise, if only i had a muffler!

i dont think its slow, i realised that after i put it in sports mode, i get very close to redline and shift it, i wouldnt have a problem shiftin a rev limit, its yummi 
ESPECIALY on the high way, my mom gets scared when i do that, punching that pedal on the on ramp, her head lunges back to the headrest and the front lip goes up an extra 2 inches 
and damn cojaro, if you do that might as well save some money and go with the "dae woo" aveo lol
and in the morning if its cold, i rev it, not on the street but in netruel
keep it revved for about 15 seconds and let it go 
And i agree, AT is SO MUCH SLOWER than sport. ESPECIALLY on the hills, im thinkin about doing a comparison video for that. this makes me wonder how much "faster" the real MT is lol

And automatic Fits are slower than slow. Even SCed and turbo ones are pretty damn slow.
Its life.

To win a race in the Fit you "better half throttle it."
The Fit is faster in half throttle. Full throttle it just makes more noise.

Revving a cold car is no good. I was saying that as a joke.

Me and Josh had this saying, back when he was NA that if you lost a race in the Fit it was because you were in full throttle.

are you saying, that you get more "efficiancy" when half throttling it? the way i see it, when full throttle, some of the RPMs' energy are not transfered to the wheels. kinda like gas-efficiancy, more revving wont do any good, might as save the gas. is that what your saying?

Please provide side-by-side test result documentation of identical Fits that confirms your statement. Thanks.
