It just felt really unsafe, considering im not that use to drive by the wire which is very sensitive, it felt bouncy, and darty (i think itis drive by the wire, and the speed) also I was running out of road, so i decided to be safe and slow down.

edit forgot to mention, I live in wv where the speed limit is 70 and the fit holds up fine (sterring and all) But 100 felt completely different.

 

I was only 92 when I got pulled, but I don't think I will ever do it again. taht was dumb move on my part

 

130 is really fast. I dont see how it can be done. I have done a 120 in my car and I have i/h/e and around 115 the car does not really wanna go. I have been on the freeway redlining each gear and was at 110 shifting into 5th and only hit 118 or 120.

 

yeah. i call BS on 130 mph. i think the fuel cutoff is closer to 115-120. that's where my car literally "hit teh wall"

 

I really don't want to start a flame war like the one in the old kraftwerks thread, but show me ONE THING from the service manual, or whatever kind of ECU readout you're getting, about a so-called "fuel cutoff".and if there IS a "fuel cutoff" its past 130. 131 is my number, and i can do it again, maybe i'll snap a photo while i'm at it next time. i call BS on LITERALLY "hitting teh wall" at 115-120 and living to tell about it

 

mine 90 mph ( i choose to live ) lol

 

Why is this in Fit racing? This a forum for responsible adults who take the time and money to drive their cars legally and safely on a TRACK. This top speed nonsense is juvenile and very dangerous, not to mention just plain stupid. I hope a moderator can move this to a different section.

 

I have done 120 on I-294, the Fit can do definitly more but I was worring about my tires (dunlop tested only to 150mph) I have MT and I didnt notice any "fuel cut off" I dont think that Fit has any speed limiter it only has RPM limiter at 7500 rpm. Once I run over max rpm on second gear and I had a fuel cut off after going over 7500rpm.

 

There is an entire thread about the cutoff on the Fit where most people claimed that they hit 118 and the engine backed off. I don't know if it is true because I have not gotten that high, but I came close.

 

Cant/dont want to argue with ^^^^
Just a weee bit too officious

but some interesting info has squeezed its way in so YAY for that *smiles*

 

i have to admit i had to look up 'officious' however i agreee i guess it wasnt asked for BUT this is a quote from the title of this section....


this is like a thread in pictures asking how to install their exhaust regardless of the how good or bad the discussion may be. Top speed on public roads is NOT legal in any shape or form therefore should not be in this section

 

I got 180kph in my City 1.3L CVT

ur right, sorry bout that...

 

I have the 1.3idsi with just a filter K&N and a cat back exhaust and i have see about 185km/h.
My car has just 12000km!!

 

We are pretty limited to 115-125.. I can see 130 if but your engine will probably hate you afterwards lol..

I hit 100 and only add ons I had at the time was CAI and axle back tanabe muffler, I actually got to 110 but was busy steering with that one.. I did not test the top speed after the header and bpipe, Iam sure I could have hit 120..

 

Is your car CVT
My cars has 940000km

 

On a long, long straight stretch my Honda Fit Sport auto will get 102 but I cannot break 100 at Virginia International Raceway. On either straight or on any lap. Using manual paddles 2, 3. and 4.

 

It stays here because, who knows if they are talking about a straight away on a track or a long public road. To hard to tell. If this thread was strictly a street race thread it would be handled accordingly.
Thanks for your concern though. I also agree testing a cars top speed on the open road is really retarted, taking a pic while doing this is even more stupid.

To answer the question of why this is in the racing section: Even though the OP stated that they received a ticket while trying to see how fast they could go, the inquiry posed did not say anything about racing or street driving. They merely asked if anyone has reached top speed. Top speed is definitely a raceway statistic IMO. If you haven't reached top speed then the answer is a simple No or just don't post a response.

 

hahaha I totally agree on the picture part...... idiotic
