I think the Fit is kind of cute, but then again, I am susceptible to youth-targeted advertising.

On that note: The brochure that came with it had an 18 to 25-year-old girl driving with her pet llama in the back seat ... I'll see if I can find it.

I actually already have a 2007 Honda Fit.  That is our family's one and only car. 

But if someone is actually considering Matthew's offer and is on the fence, let me say that we are thrilled with the Fit so far.

 Is there enough room under the hood for an LS-1 swap?

It's a 4-Cyl. 1.5L VTEC engine, if that helps answer that any.

I would assume that since they are both 4 cylinder engines, it's not impossible.

(BTWs, I'm not sure if I am making myself look foolish by taking this question at face value.)

I found an older version of my craigslist ad that is a little more detailed:

This made me laugh.
Too soon?

My bad: it's an alpaca.



Lucky for us, I did not have to resort to scanning my brochure for—at least—one of these images.

The image with the alpaca being driven around by a hip, ambiguously ethnic 18 to 25-year-old girl is gonna require me to have more free time

ls-1 is far from a 4 cylinder.

that ls-1 is more than 4 times larger than the stock motor, with regard to displacement.

that swap would get you roughly 308 additional horsepower.

I am thankful my NASCAR dad doesn't read this forum.
