The way it could've been if Smart had been smart about where to source their powerplant.

@GTBruiser: Injustice is when good men stand idle while a Smart goes without Gixxer power.

Maymar is convinced M.C. Escher engineered his car — Thu, 08 May 2008 21:24:25 EDT

That's one way to stop the Smart's epic understeer.

I just showed this clip to a colleague that just bought a Smart and she gave me the "Et tu, Brute?" look and asked, "Why does everyone want me to do an injustice to my little baby?"

She's owned it for 5 weeks now and STILL has trouble parallel-parking!!?!

SO....It's a Picasso-ed version of an FSAE car with a body shell. Man, wouldn't that thing be a sleeper on Woodward?

I sent you guys that video ages ago. Here is a better quality, longer version (sorry same crap music), but the engine sounds wickid.

Its just good to see that no matter where the car industry goes with gas prices now capable of interstellar travel and the gas sving hybrid SUV oxymoron, there will still be hoons dedicated to doing something completely insane with something so tame.

I 'd like to see another video not filmed though pantyhose, but this dispels any notion I had that the Smart looked like an Echo in regards to topping over during a hard turn. I hope the dad gets the hoonkid form the bigwheel video one of these.

Great for smoking tires and straight line hoonage. However, I imagine that the short wheel base doesn't make it good for too much else.

Almost makes me want a Smart. Almost.

I'd still love to try that thing out, though.

Aww where's the hat-tip? :(

Now all someone needs to do is chop one about 2 to 3 inches and gain some more aerodynamics and MPH.
