^ That made me LOL! The OP is attempting to justify his loss. Classic signs of denial! J/K.

Let the modding begin.

lol, if denial were an issue, i wouldn't have posted this....EVER! hehe. anyways, like i said, he didn't just up and leave me, and in the 1/4 mile or less that we raced he only ended up with his rear bumper even with my front. jesus henry christ his car was annoyingly loud though. he should've beat me by 10 car lengths on volume propulsion alone. hondas remind me of little kids who just learned how to swim who are thrashing and splashing but are barely moving forward. i was just saying that i had planned to leave the car stock under the hood until that tool nosed ahead of me.

pssshhhttt! it needs more than a diet. it needs to hit the gym. give it time. i've turned out a few nice cars in the past. this one was intended for VIP/luxury only, but that doesn't seem like it'll last long.

Yeah, how do you now he doesn't have any swaps in his FIT?
My friends GS3 with 20' lost to a guy with a stock 4 cyclinder Accord, now that's sad,
That's amazing! I remember when my Accord was my daily driver and it just didn't have enough power to keep up with the V6's like TL's, etc. So I decided to buy a GS430 and let me tell you now I leave many of them in the dust.
Hope after adding a super charger your GS3 would be able to teach those souped up 4 bangers a lesson.

As much as I'm reluctant to use 'magazine numbers' this post warrants some because of the gross difference in tests of these vehicles when stock.

0 - 60 on a 5 speed Honda Fit is 9 - 9.3 seconds and the GS300 is 7.6 - 7.8 seconds

Either something very wrong with your GS or some significant work has been done to the Fit.

The GS is heavy in terms of weight compared to a 240 s13/s14 with an RB swap, same goes for the FIT in comparison. Weight to power ratios would be totally different.

If you're comfortable with swaps and are cool with them, then you should consider picking up an Aristo front clip. They're not bad in terms of pricing, way cheaper than Supra front clips.
