I need ya'lls help
 
I come from an unorthodox Harley forum where we love all bikes and all cars....regardless of make. I obviously own a Fit and got a "friend" who recently bought a 500 and modified it a bit by lowering it and getting some rims. I'm cool with that except he started talking some smack about OUR Fits!!!! :confused:

I am looking for racing video pitting a 500 vs a Fit but I can't find anything. Can ya'll help out if such a video exists? I can't find such a beast.

I told him that if we were to line up to race and I lost, I would simply point out my 57 cu feet of cargo space vs his 17 cu feet! :D:rotfl:

Also mention that I've never seen a man driving one before, and there are a lot of Fiats here. Same goes for the Fit. This rivalry against each other, as you describe, is amusing altogether.

Hilarious! :rotfl: Well maybe the race shouldn't be lined up at all but rather at the airport pick up or Home Depot loading zone... :D

Sorry couldn't help you with the video...

Line up and race.....

This comes from a Motor Trend review of the 500:
This is the part of this review I've been dreading. The part where I have to tell you how fast the Fiat 500 isn't. Ready? 0-60 mph needed 9.7 seconds. The quarter-mile eventually happens after 17.2 seconds at a lowly, slowly 78.5 mph. Though it has four-wheel disks, stopping from 60 mph took a ho-hum 131 feet.

The fit runs 8.2 seconds and 16.3 sec @ 83.3 mph. Now, they did have identical times on the 200ft figure 8 course, but who races figure 8's?

Also, US News World Report ranks the 2012 Fit at #1, the 500 at #19.

And like you said, the 500 would barely hold a load of groceries.

Unfortunately he lives in California and I in Massachusetts so I am left with being nothing more than a Keyboard Commando. :rolleyes:

Does he have the Abarth with turbo? if not You got him covered.

I prowl the canyons of Socal in my Fit and often play with Miatas and Minis but have yet to run in to a 500 that wanted to dance lol

Have your friend post up and I'll meet him and settle the score for ya:rotfl:
