It was probably the best-case scenario. By myself, not a full tank, cool day, and a K&N filter.

I'm gonna do it again once summer hits, on a 90-degree day and see how much the hotter temperature saps acceleration. I'm betting quite a bit.

This is funny. How do you practice with a CVT? I just mash the accelerator to the floor when the light turns green. All it does is make a lot of noise instead of accelerating. I'm surprise with 130 hp the car is so slow.

I don't consider mine slow. It's faster than my 2013 was and the 2013 had the manual.

really? dogdamn.. i had a '12 GE MT and my wife's GK feels slow.. it's definitely quicker than the '09 GE AT she drove before. maybe the cvt is just making the car feel slower than it really is.

The Fit will go faster if you pimp it up with aero kits, low profile tires, LED lights, aftermarket exhaust, and a special shift knob.

I believe it does. CVTs deprive you of the aural reference points one uses to gauge acceleration.
