You shouldn't be driving any car at "9/10" on the street.

That's me in the Fit...

That's a BRZ equipped with the Performance Package behind me. My car was completely stock except for a Progress rear anti-sway bar. Stock brakes, stock tires, and stock alignment.

"The Performance Package will turn your BRZ into a hard-nosed competitor with Brembo® performance brakes for supreme stopping power, SACHS® performance dampers for enhanced stability, and dark gray 17 x 7.5-inch 10-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels for an exclusive look. This BRZ is ready to perform."

I held my own without issue and wasn't nervous in the least.

I drove ours up Mt. Coolidge 6200 feet up a barely 2 lane dirt road honking around hairpins all the way up (the turn off from the road looked benign; we were shortly locked into the climb after turn one). The car was unflappable up and down- we were freaked out. The car park at the top was all giant 4×4s, and our Fit. Fantastic car!

hahah. Or try an electric bass cabinet, amp, bass guitar, mic stand, monitor speakers, and all the other junk you have to bring to a gig. The Fit swallows it all, with room for more.

Lowering springs will make it a little bit sporty. But I think HFP suspension is better. But its more fun if you take it to the track lol
