New Truck - Practically a supercar, pretty SAVAGE

[ExtraSlow]

Yeah they are 4x100. Maybe I'm old school, but I prefer four bolt wheels for my racecars, if there is a flaw in the wheel casting, fewer perforations, so it's potentially stronger around the centre-bore. Any weakness in the studs is easily upgraded too. Simple.

I seriously enjoy driving a Fit out on ghost lake, such a neutral feeling car and for a FWD I was surprised to see how eager the tail was to step out, lots of fun. And studded tires FTW.

I believe this car has a Progress rear sway bar which would make it pretty savage on ghost lake.

I prefer the original Top speed salt flat car style wheels it had.

I haven't drivin a GE but does it still have the lift off over steer the GD has?

I remember that Fit at Ghost Lake. Easily the best handling car during the event with the studded tires, even when compared to all the Subies.

I hear the original owner was a real douche, always ripping around the Aspen area, creeping on lil boys and telling everyone else his other car was an ISF or M3 or even an Evo... like seriously who would only summer drive an awd Evo

[ExtraSlow]

I can't confirm if he's a douche, but I can confirm that he's a real OG, and he did discuss a variety of faster cars, but the Fit had the indoor parking. Hmmmmm, suspicious.

Nope, my 2014 is 4x100 as well.

The LX trim makes for a nice sleeper. People will be caught off guard after dismissing it as a non-Sport model. Good buy.

That is one SUPER car! But alas, it is not a Veloster. Unfortunately, there aren't many out there that can pull a Veloster off.

All fits are 4x100. And the sport model is just as slow as the LX or EX or DX. With that said they're decent cars to bomb around the city in.

Glad someone else picked this car up so I didn't have to lowball the previous owner

Correct, I was just being a little facetious.

Despite the Sport's rear diffuser, all models are equally savage.

Was that the Fit with the cheater studs? Also the original organizer of the winter driving events?

Great pick-up! Manual transmission?

Picked up an '08 Fit for my wife a couple years ago, and to be honest I almost enjoy driving it more than my wrx, at least in the city. The best part is the transmission. It's so smooth I can literally shift it with just my pinky finger on the shifter. If I drive the Fit for awhile and then hop back in the wrx it feels like I'm trying to shift a farm tractor by comparison.

Fit's are beastly with studs too. My wife has Hakka 8's on hers, and she claims she was one of the fastest cars on the track at the SASC winter training last year (despite having the least horsepower). Also, VTEC!

Good news! I have put the bonneville wheels back on for summer top speed runs up and down the QEII. Took this bad boy golfing and some asshat parked between my two rides.

Forget the center caps? That has to be an extra 5 km/h on the top speed if you put them in!
