What the hell does it have in it? It'd be like pushing a (lighweight) brick through the air with aerodynamics like that...

I've seen footage of a smart car with a hayasusa engine in it , could be this one

stuffed if I would be inside it, that short square wheelbase with all the understeer and bump steer these have once it goes off line kiss it goodbye.

Looks like it is slung by a rubber band :beer:beer

Says it here..

front wheel drive, 145's... you'd be spinning it all the way down the run!

they're rear engine rwd.

Kai, I didn't know you moved to Adelaide!

yeh, moved down about a month and a half ago i think.
looking for a cheaper more chilled way of life and the possibility of one day owning property... plus it's my hometown...

just to try and keep on topic a bit, the local merc dealership here has a tower with 5 or 6 smart cars one above the other, it's a great display, looks really cool. i'll try and get a pic sometime.

This vid shows some buildup pics and some interesting donuts .. it's got a GSX-R 1000 motor in it and it appears to even more stripped out..
Impressive little .. thing .. almost square track/wheelbase!

my mate here in adelaide runs the dealership selling smart, he owns one himself a roadster[looks like a mini lotus elise] he has upped the boost put a3 inch exhaust!!!!, and remapped the computer and it how has over110hp at the wheels not bad for 700cc[ would nor mind that hp/cc in avw] hes been running at the hiiclimb and has run a 38.9 at colingrove, very fast!!
