HONDA FIT vs THE WORLD 01 峠 CASH PRIZE for CANYON BATTLES

[@BornToDrive1500E]

Nobody was scared of the fit, they simply dont drive actually fast in the twisties just like most of car people. The guy in the e34 was awesome. Hi didn't know the road, it seems like most of it was downhill and yet he had good pace and it looked awesome on the camera

[@highwaydashy]

So basically, Fit driver is local to that touge, while challenger is not? Seems that way as the BMW driver followed a daytime line most of the way, destroying the speed advantage he gained in the straights. But not gonna lie, I'm really impressed at how well the Fit hanged with that LS at WOT

[@thetuber705]

The BMW was 275whp, he also said he used to run that road a lot a few years ago.

[@highwaydashy]

Either way, the BMW was on a much more conservative line that would likely improve over a few runs, and that LS probably has a lot more torque than the 1.5.

Whats the point of having a fast sporty car if you don't have the balls to have fun with it? If your ego can't take a loss then you are missing out.

[@ProfeTa6]

@Sideways G Agreed but I didn't get the sense they were "racing". You can even see them telling the bmw dude to go at his own pace and whatever he feels comfortable with. I also go on fast mountain drives but avoid crossing the white line and slow down on blind corners, there's having fun and being stupid. The guy I'm talking about was just scared he would look bad, his ego doesn't allow him to have fun or explore, that's all. Nobody pushed him to a race nor did anyone pressured him, he did it to himself.

[@jamesshives5679]

I wouldn't say that, by nature car guys love driving, but I think the thing is that most people don't want to risk getting into the kind of trouble that one could get into in such a competition. That being said, there are tons of people willing to do drag races... so, I'm not sure how to explain that. Maybe less risk running in a straight line?

There’s a fit at our local pass, those things really are awesome. My crews main rule is single lane and no speeding around the start zone pull off. These videos are sick

[@RidgeChaser]

Def good to have established rules about double / single lane. Each pass should be treated differently when it comes to this

[@SofaKingTouge]

I'd like to see him practice for a month and come back. His biggest problem is he didn't use the whole road. Staying in the lines seemed to be his biggest priority.

That's honestly the right thing to do though. I mean it's obvious to tell at night if someone's coming or not but still. Habits at night can carry into day.

@@Eichsauce your logic is beyond flawed. Guess i shouldnt race at all because then i will race going to the grocery store or dropping the kids off at school.

A lot of these guys probably don't really push their cars on back roads so I can kind of understand their hesitance. They are running a lot more expensive stuff some of them and if I had no experience I probably wouldn't either. It's always better to learn slow and find your limits that way than jumping into a battle.

[@RidgeChaser]

For sure it's a valid reason. It's interesting to hear their explanation of why they don't want to battle!

[@HondoFitto]

I think you guys just found a new co host there. Get him back on and let see his progression over time as he learns the stage. I feel like since it was his first time on the pass, someone with the knowledge of every corner will not only have the biggest advantage but will already be faster than someone who is guessing at what point do they brake making tons of error and unnecessary adjustments. I'll give em props for staying in the lane though. I've been a group that only races on one lane due to safety too which is pretty honorable in some sense. There's no passing so its just a straight cat n mouse.

[@jordan7290]

Given the BMW chose to stay in his lane, I think the honorable thing would have been to do the same to the extent possible. I give that guy the spiritual win over the Fit for that reason. I don't have a problem with lane crossing at night, but I think if there's any pretense of a "race" going on, then both drivers should be on the same terms. Perhaps this is something to establish beforehand with future challengers. I know if I took the Fit Challenge in my Miata, and saw you guys doing that, I'd be thinking, "Okay, there's the hustle".

[@SydeshowMO]

I bought my daughter a Fit and the chassis is pretty rigid. Most Honda’s are. In my auto X days there was a stock Fit on slicks. It did well. If I ever get out there I’ll take on that thing. Even tho my car is setup for drift. Win or lose it’s not gonna gap me. Even on my all seasons. Only way it would have a chance to gap me if was on slicks.

I'm a very big fan of the Honda Fit. The chassis rigidity is surprising, it's constructed of a three dimensional main frame monocoque structure and has a double-layer construction not unlike that of a GT car, resulting in a low center of gravity since the bottom of the car is stiff and the top end is more loose. What really sets the Fit apart is that while conventional mass production monocoque bodies are made by putting together sheet metal with reinforcement sheets, the Fit's three dimensional main frame is constructed as if two traditional sheet metal monocoque frames were put together. In addition to reinforcement sheeting, the Fit's chassis has multiple different types of sheet metal with varying tensile strength resulting in both a rigid chassis and lightweight construction.
