Secret Street Drag at Race City! CIVIC vs. FIT
 

Has anyone taken their Fit to the strip in town? If so, what were your times? AT/MT?

I've almost totally convinced my buddy with a 2006 Civic EX to race me one Friday night this summer. He just ordered an Injen CAI for his car and its a 5spd. My Fit is a 5spd as well.

Who do you think will win?!??!?! :cool:

He's never ran at the track, but I've got a bit of experience, I've been there 3 times when i had my 2000 civic SiR. I didn't think I'd ever want to track a Honda Fit, but I think it would be fun. I think he has the total edge since his car has every advantage pretty much in every category (except weight)... check it out

He doesn't know any better, but on the day of the race, i'm gonna take out the seats, spare tire etc... to remove as much weight as possible to give myself a chance!

Sounds cool, I am rooting for you :D

Hmmm, he has a bit of a power advantage... Any idea what the delta vehical weight difference is?

I think the specs are pretty close especially with my mods... if its pretty close power wise, it'll come down to driver skill..

lol, sounds like weight reduction is your friend right now :cool: Any chance you are going to get your lightweight wheels on before the race?

i agree man, you might even get a car length on take off jus coz Fits are lighter n quicker, it'll b driver skill if who wins the stretch way but for sure dude my gut tells me YOU WILL SMOKE HIM!!!
i guess he has a 4door, i remember wen i ran my 01 Si coupe my best was 18.4 -18.5 :mad: i never ran after that i felt like an icecream truck on the dragstrip LOL:D

Lol.. yep.. you can't really ever expect to run what the numbers say.. we are at a higher elevation so you can easily tack on 1 second to the overall time..

My 2000 si-r was rated at 15.9 in the US.. but my very first run ever was a 17.1... about 15 passes later I brought it down to 16.3.. my best pass was a 16.1.. and that was with a blown motor about 2/3s the way down the track! I was on a 65hp nitrous shot. :D

Yep.. I'll have my wheels put on before we race.. his intake and my wheels and springs are in the same shipment from Cali.. I'm hoping once i get those on it'll help a fair amount

my fit will be running next Friday night at race city. get ready for some 18 second passes lol.

Have you run before? 5spd? what mods?

I'm really interested to see what our car can do.. unfortunately i think we would be in the high 17s.. maybe low 18s..

Mannnnn I might have to come down and see these Fits run the 1/4 mile just for fun! MB we need to get a Fit outing where we can race against one another on Friday night :D Lets do this sometime in July...hopefully Ill have my SS in and installed. YeeFit think you can give me a hand? :D I'm sure some of the other guys will be interested in making some runs other than us :p

Oh yeah, what are the requirements for secret street? Helmet? etc?

I can probably give you a hand, I would say yes, but what is an SS? Short Shifter?

Minor mods but I'm 80% sure ill be there.

T1R intake
megan racing exhaust
eibach prokit
and 16" rotas

high 17's low 18's is my estimate.

Yup, SS is short shifter! Ordered the Mugen one, should be coming sometime by the end of this month hehehehe

You guys think I'll run better times if I put the stock rims back on since I'm going down two inches?

depends on the grip factor... you'll hook up better with your 17s but accelerate faster with the 15s

lol, you should put little tiny 35 profile tires on your 15's then you will rocket off the line... hmmm not too sure what your top speed will be through:D

35 series, arnt those for trailers? lol

Sorry but two 17 second cars can be boring.

don't believe anyone asked you for a negative opinion......sorry...........last time i looked the "fit was fun"

Just for fun, nothing serious...

only chance a Fit can go fast fast is turbo or K20A yum yum!
its all for fun man, i'd run my Fit in a quarter mile jus dont line me up wit muscle cars LOL
