The 94-01 GSR had 170 hp. The 94-95 Integra LS had 142 hp, and the 96-01 Integra LS had 140 hp. Keep in mind that these stated figures are rated against the older SAE standards. Meaning that if they were rated today, the rated hp would be lower.

The Fit has 109 hp according the newer, more accurate SAE standard.

I pulled all that info off of a website. I am not saying it is right, I am just saying it wasnt me just making sh!t up. But, correct me if I'm wrong, didnt the SE have more horse? That is what this website said. I did not think it did, but whatever I will try to find that site again the refer to.

Anyways, point being, like you said with the new SAE ratings the Fit probably is just as fast as the Teg LS.(Or just as slow, however you want to look at it)

I have a 95 Integra SE. It doesnt have any more hp than an LS or RS. It has the same B18B1 engine.

It did come with alloys, leather seats, and a spoiler. The SE later became the GS from 98-01.

You'd be dead in the Fit as well.
The Fit is loaded with front and side airbags, standard (four and five star I think). I doubt you'll die, but you'll be pretty injured. In the smart, I think you'll be dead from getting hit by a regular sedan.

I'm happy with the Fit as it is. You have to remember the car costs $15k. You can't expect phenomenal anything out of a car with that kind of a price tag. Of course that's not an excuse for Honda to cheap out on everything, which they didn't. Anyways, the MB car is to damn small anyway. The Fit is surprisingly roomy inside, and you have to love the cargo capacity.

I hope that Brabus Smart Roadster has more than 63 hp. It'll need 90 hp just to move those heavy wheels.

I don't think any Smart car is designed to "move". They are meant for low fuel usage, eye catching looks (good and bad), small parking signature.

I agree, which is why I wonder why someone like Brabus would touch one. They're about improving looks AND performance, and I don't quite see the performance side of a Smart car.
