True brilliance at work.
How do you go from autocross in one thread to "its a slow economy car!" in another? I swear you have MPD...

And pretty sure I succeeded in toping mine out.. Just cause I want to see what it can do doesn't make me a ricer. I don't go around doing burnouts and revving my engine at stop lights. I don't have a PnP HID kit. No over powered subwoofers in the trunk for no reason. I'm sorry, but I fail to see how I could even come close to the "rice" label.

This post has cemented my view of you as a tremendous tool.

My economy car isn't all that slow... It would top out at 115 until I put a cat back pipe and AEM cold air intake on it.. I could do 110 but at a longer distance than it took to reach 115... It gets up to higher speeds now in much shorter distance now...

I had a full exhaust, Iridium plugs and a CAI when I did my test. Along with AA Traction tires.

^ What this guy said. Nothing ricey about being curious.

I don't have a giant canister muffler on factory piping. I don't have a bunch of stickers littering my car's body. I don't have wheels exceeding sizes of 17" that easily weigh over 22 pounds each. I don't have a full "system" in the trunk of my hatchback car that sacrifices trunkspace. I don't have a "chip" attached to my IAT sensor to make my ECU think my car should be running richer. I don't have a giant wing sitting on the back of my car.

If you Auto-X your Fit, even in stock form, you have no room to call those of us that just like making our daily drivers a little more personalized "ricers."

a governor jus limits your max speed settings to the country you are at. my car is governor at 125 mph. it could go more but the computer stops it at that speed.

@mnfit: I was wondering since you have a k24 under the hood. what is the max speed of that devil?

i rode in a friend's EG once with 270hp and it scared the crap out of me. it's like riding a wild horse... u don't have any sense of control on that monster... I wonder how your car feels like...

the computer sense at a certian speed and cuts the gas until it hits a proper speed for the gas to resume back to normal.

The car really is not that bad to drive, it has torque steer but other then that its not bad to drive. As far as top speed, I have no idea. I have not even come close to the speeds you guys have gone and am not going to attempt them on a public road.
