My understanding is that the Fit is an economy car. I would expect the sport
muffer to offer a small increase in power at high rpm, and mainly to reduce
the sting of driving an economy car when the owner would rather have a
performance car. Kinda reminds me of putting cards on bicycle spokes.

Jeez. I will never understand this. Somebody buys a cheapo econobox 'cause
it's cheap to buy, then he wants to turn it into a Lamborghini (which ain't
cheap to buy), but he doesn't want to spend the cash to actually turn the
'box into a Lambo. WTF?

Ya wanna Lambo? Buy a Lambo. Ya want cheap wheels? Buy a Fit.

Believe it or not, I once saw a Dodge Neon whoop a Camero's ass in a short sprint race.

I beg to differ...there is nothing Cheap about the Fit.
I bought a Sport Fit Auto in Blaze Orange 6 May and love it.

Some people try to turn back their odometers.
Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and some of the
roads weren't paved.
