16.284@86.63mph

Car: 2015 Honda Fit LX
Transmission: CVT
Mods:
Modified stock intake
2" Flo Pro Max Muffler
Lightweight wheels.
Jack/Spare tire removed
Rear seats removed
Temps: 70F with 5-10mph headwind.

Did about five runs last night. Was trying to dip into the 15 second range in the 1/4 mile but no luck. It was a nice cool night and a fun one too. I included a pic of all my runs. Will try again tonight. Interesting to note that the car was getting an average of 45mpg on the way home (44mpg on in stop-n-go traffic), due mostly to the lighter weight.

I am glad to see that the CVT moves out nicely though. Could see some more improvement on my 60ft. That'd make this a 15 second car.







Here's a video of one of the runs. You can hear how it sounds.

Awesome! Thanks for the data. This should help people not unecessarily worry about the Fit being slow. I was worried the Fit would be too slow for me, but when I test drove it I was pleasently suprised that it is plenty fast enough. I have an unmodified EX-L CVT.

What did you use to get all those sensor readouts in the video? Load, rpm, timing, MAF, AFR, etc.

The Torque app for Android will record video with overlayed ECU metrics. You will need to pair the phone with a $10 Bluetooth adapter plugged into your OBD port. I don't think there is a way to do this with an iPhone.

Sorry to answer for you, Myxalplyx. I happened to know the answer because I run the Torque app while I drive too.

Ah, thanks. I've been looking at that but haven't bought the bluetooth unit yet.
