jk.

but yea, I beleive that a fit can do 0-60 in 5.xx seconds. 40-50hp and what, 30-40 ft/lbs torque gives a 2400lb car a bit more pep than a 3k+lb vehicle

 

remember that the 1st,2nd and 3rd gear on the fit are geared very differently than most cars. you guys are comparing apples and oranges. 0-60 in 5 seconds is VERY realistic with FI and a good driver.

 

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it isn't possible. What I am saying is a 1/2 second is a huge difference... I just feel skeptical of a 5.3s 0-60 time.

To be honest I get kind of obessive about the 0-60 times for cars more than anything else, which is probably not the right way to look at a car but hey, it is my habit. Here is a list of cars I colleted for comparison about a year ago.

Chevy Cobalt SS 2005 6.5
Mitsubishi Eclipse 2000 6.7

Mitsubishi Lancer OZ 2003 9.3
VW Jetta TDI 2005 11.3
VW Jetta TDI 2000 14.7

Now admittedly the Forester is a bit of an anomaly because it has very low gearing and AWD that grabs like you wouldn't believe. But we can take a look at the other FWD car in that list for a comparison. To put this in perspective the SRT4 runs a 1/4 mile typically under 13s... even a few rumors of mid 12's at over 110mph; it goes 0-60 in 5.3 seconds.

 

lol, this sucks. never wanted to do any perf. mods to the fit but wow. still prolly be cheaper buying a crx with a b18 swap already done though and mod it...but o well :P I want krafts SC

 

My Fit has 2 speeds; FAST and WOOOoOO what was that!?

 

well i went to a drag ( professional course) i was able to keep up with a mazda 3 ( stock) i was on his back bumper.... my next time will be this saturday on a auto X track

 

may be with stage 3 turbo installed on the srt4...? friend has stage 2 installed, few other things done and is still mid 12s to low 13s on a GOOD run. dunno how anybody got a stage1 srt4 to get under 13s in the 1/4.

haha thats all i can add to this thread...i know nothing really, just thought i would throw at out there.

 

My friend ran his dads daily SRT4. Completely stock on slicks, it ran a 12.7@105mph
It was an 05. Basically Stage1 as they have more power than 03's

 

damn really? hes running on stock tires, can it be the slicks that make that big of an improvement? i know its hard for his tires to actually catch stock...

 

yes slicks can contribute to that time greatly.

 

good to know, knew slicks were good, just didnt know how good ;p

 

you are absolutely wrong dude. a del sol is not a slow car. my brother's del sol ran a 14.9 qtr mile when it was stock. and i maxxed mine out at 137mph every morning on the way to work.

 

Fast enough to keep up with the new MB C300. although they are not that fast at all...

 

That's yours. The slowest Del Sol's had a 106hp motor and did 0-60 10-11 seconds.
