It's been given a GSXR 1000 engine, tripling its power.

I want one!

I've been seeing Smart ForTwos in Manhattan lately... I wonder if they'll start selling them soon.

They are so small, it seems that you can tip them over very easily (no doubt someone will do it.)

It is safe in a straight line,or mine was (just sold it) but forget corners . Best coup was an RS4 from lights to 118 limiter.Smartuki ASBO is good name but one has to be english to understand, Anti Social Behaviour Order.

Ha, you sold your ASBO?

I'm pretty sure you mean that it's a modern Ferrari devoid of the personality of older cars, meaning it's not a classic Ferrari. If that's not what you mean, then hell... I have no idea what the hell you're talking about :D

I think he means that even if it is faster, it still isn't the same as owning a Ferrari.

x2. Nor is the Ferrari a drag car.
Not intending to take away from a very neat liitle car, but, the Ferrari driver had a very conservative launch.

THE SMART isn't a Ferrari, it may be faster then a 430 but it's not a Ferrari...I like older Ferrari's better anyway:D

Fun vid to watch,thanks. Although a stock 4000lb GMC 91' Syclone small truck does 0-60 in 4.6 !:p
Kinda makes their recent accomplishment seem mundane some 16 years later.....
