TopSpeed
Ok I know the GD section has a top speed thread, but i cant find one for the GE. So either post a link, leave a comment.
I got the Fit to 90 in 4th, and went right to 100 in 5th. I had to stop because i ran out of room between taffic on the interstate. But i felt it deffinately had some more(although it would have taken forever). Totally stock other than a Tanabe axle-back. I also have the nitrogen filled Dunlops. Yes..I understand its not a top speed demon, but I was just curious. What about everyone else?

Fastest that I have gotten to was an indicated 114 but I ran out of room so I had to slow down, I think it had a little more, not much though. Also, there may be a difference between manual and auto, mine is a manual, and is a completely stock Sport.
Yes, i do believe the autos have a longer final gear. Explains some of the better fuel economy?
Around 118 mph so far according to the speedmeter with my Jazz 1.4
Edit:
Tryed to go 124 mph today (high way, clear road!!) ... at 119 mph around 500 rpms left to red line but the car didn't accelerate any more. So this is it. The car became also unstable a bit.

I did about the same i think 121 or 122 on I-64. but it took a whileee to get up to that speed. lucky there werent any pigs
180kph (112mph) is what S speed rated tires are supposed to be good for. That is what the Base comes with in the US. The Sport comes with H speed rated tires (130mph).
Ive been wondering about that. Good to know!

(I still love my Fit though
)
