Almost at the end of the mag. SCC listed the top 10 cars to have highest lateral G's, you guessed it, the Fit made it on to the list! matter of fact, it's actually the Spoon Fit that made it. Here goes the list:
1. Loren & Toseann Fancy - PVP 250CC SuperKart - 1.39 Lateral-g
2. Erich Joiner - Williams FW08C F1 racecar - 1.38 Lateral-g
3. WorldSpeed Motorsports - Pro Formula Mazda - 1.30 Lateral-g
4. Spoon Sports - Honda S2000 racecar (AP1) - 1.17 Lateral-g
5. C-West - Honda S2000 racecar (AP1) - 1.15 Lateral-g
6. Spoon Sports - Honda Fit racecar - 1.09 Lateral-g
7. ForcedFed Performance - Lotus Elise - 1.08 Lateral-g
8. SCC - Project Miata - 1.08 Lateral-g
9. Road/Race Engineering - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII - 1.06 Lateral-g
10. Calvin Wan - Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) - 1.06 Lateral-g
These are cars that were tested by SCC only, I'm sure there are a lot more cars out there that can do much more G's!

Maximum theoretical speed (neglecting air drag) through a curve with a radius of 150ft:
1.39g - 55.8mph
1.38g - 55.6mph
1.17g - 51.2mph
1.15g - 50.8mph
1.09g - 49.5mph
1.08g - 49.2mph
1.06g - 48.8mph
This is before the tire loses optimal grip. Just take the speeds with a grain of salt =P I don't feel like factoring in air drag and tire slip and any other factors.
