How fast will a stock fit sport go?

Just curious. I have one, but I've never maxed it (or wanted to). Anyone know? Don't really care, just curious how fast it can get up to. I would guess 110 or so.

80 was as fast as i pushed mine, but i'd guess your right, about 110. Curious to know if anyone has pushed theirs to the limits myself.
my friend had a toyota of similar HP and it definitely maxed out at 110 with the rpm's maxed. sounded like it was gonna fall apart lol

Depends on the conditions...

-downhill with a tail wind?
-uphill with a head wind?
-light driver?
-heavy drive?
-cool, warm or hot weather?

How fast?

I had a 2007 Fit sport and I got it up to 115 mph with the governor not kicking in yet. Now I have a 2010 Fit Sport and i got that up to 105 mph.

That engine must be screaming at 100+mph!!! Unfortunately our gearing doesn't help, but I'm sure with different gearing and a bit more hp, the car will do 130+. Lol which would make it useless as a dd, or almost

I'm surprised Car and Driver managed to spend over 19 grand on the Fit. They must have opted for the navigation.

115 and then the car runs out of power is what it feels like to me. I know what a governor feels like, had that in my infiniti g35. You'd be flying and then it was like hitting a brick wall once you reach 140. In the fit after 100 it's a crawl to get to 110 and then when you get to 115 8 or 9 seconds later it's just giving all its got.

I'm not sure what y'all mean by getting to 100 takes for ever. From 60 I can get to 100 fairly quickly for a car only having 117 horsepower.

I get up to 185km/h pretty decently in mine. This is what the speed was showing on the HKS CAC and it still felt like it could go a little more. I figure tops this thing will do is just under 200km/h (124mph) with stock gearing and aero drag coming into play.

You have a six gear cr transmission though. I'm stuck with a five gear box.

Modern cars are usually electronically limited to a speed that is closed tp what the stock tires are rated for. I have always assumed the Fit would be limited to 115mph or so.

Our stock tires are actually H rated, so they can handle ~130mph.

And the speedo goes to 140 mph, which always makes me chuckle.

Actually I don't, that wasn't offered till the current refresh. With the gear ratios it has, I wouldn't want it really. I'm not into FE and the 6th gear is completely useless as far as any sort of performance. Maybe some company will make a nice performance oriented full gear set then I might look into.

Ah damn. I was unaware of this. I don't think we will get a performance gear set. I'd like one, but I dont think we will get it.

Depending on the rim and tire size though the reading is off by a small percentage. Not at all like my jeep where the reading is off by roughly 10 mph because I went from 20" tires to 35" tires.
