Did you determine your speed by GPS or external radar gun? Speedometers are known to be slightly inaccurate at top speed.

Are your tires the same as the NA Fit Sport Tires? Do you have the same body kit that comes with NA Fit Sport?

I have reached just below 100mph. It was a great time. The car was completely under control and not squirelly. Someone should make a thread about how fast you have taken a 90 degree turn, either on a road or turning onto another road.
That will show more skill of the drivers on this forum.. I am not the most skilled driver but I am pretty good. No Michael Schumaker am I.

LOL @ 90 degree comment.

Fastest I've been round a corner is probably around 25mph, even then it was quite scary and understeered like hell....scared it was going to topple over as it's not lowered.

Fastest I've been in my Jazz is 110mph, rated 106mph.

Well for NA drivers like i said it stops picking up speed at 115mph...i pegged that speed 4 times one night and it just hit the governor switch...that is the limit...i feel without that stupid "limiter" it can go past 120...remember i was called an idiot for driving this fast and taking a picture...who cares i still do it

Well according to the C&D article, they claim the top speed of 114 mph was drag limited, NOT governor limited.
