haha i guess the fit really is "go" then huh?
Did anyone read the part where the Fit ran through the lane change test faster than a Corvette ZO6? How exactly does that happen and is it meaningful?

The Fit is much narrower than the Z06. It's ultimate grip is far lower but it's narrow and short, making it more nimble. Understeer is also easier to control than oversteer, especially 109 hp understeer vs 505 hp oversteer.

It's meaningful in real life only in the the Fit can change directions quickly and easily. In other words, in can whip through traffic really easily or do an emergency evasive manoeuvre more easily. Otherwise, it means little to nothing.

Maybe the best way to sum it up is that it's a fun car to drive. Nimble = fun, kind of like a Miata without RWD and grip and a convertible top.
