I have never driven a Fit enthusiastically, but I have driven FF cars on the track for about six years.

You can change the suspension geometry and bias to get an easier point into a corner. Bigger bar on the rear, heavier springs on the rear, toe out on the front, negative camber on the front, that kind of thing.

If you are going fast enough into a corner <u>and</u> you are <u>sure</u> of what you are doing (NASA Group 3, Group 4, Instructor, Advanced, etc.) then what you can do is go in hot, lift momentarily to allow the car to point quickly and potentially radically into the corner, and then put your foot down immediately to power your way out.

Caution: This is an advanced driving technique and you need to know what you are doing.

 

I dunno about a FIT but any car, doesn't matter if it's front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, or all wheel drive, if you are taking a sweeping turn at the limit of adhesion and you lift the throttle or even worse, hit the brakes, the rear will come out and you'll probably spin or crash or a combination of both. But whatever you do, get it on video.

 

in a short test drive I thought the car seriously understeered, maybe the tires were low but i had never experienced that feeling on any car - will report if I ever get one.

Check that out it might help.

 

Did you test drive the Base or Sport?

As you may know Sport = bigger wheels, wider tires.

I've done a small amount of aggresive driving w/ my Sport. It handles very nice and has a pretty stiff suspension for a stock car. I have yet to squeal or break the tires loose.

Does anyone know if the spring rates/suspension is different on the Sport model compared to the base?

If you want to oversteer, just pull on the hand brake hard and crack it right or left real hard, and voila oversteer. I love to do thin when it's snowing outside, its fun
