    What, you don't think the 68 ft-lb of torque from a Smart could launch that thing off the line? :)
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    The snail shell above the left front tire would indicate a power improvement. :D

    I see a turbocharger. That thing is probably actually really stable too. Talk about a well balanced center of gravity.

    Minus the huge wheels, I see these little cars everywhere around Japan. Pretty cool, but if youre a big guy (>6feet then this vehicle is not for you) at least not for me. My knees were hitting the dash. No fun.
    Shoot the jumper.....................BALLIN.............!!!!!

    Those Smart cars are like death traps too. They are built well though, when you're inside of it you're basically in a cage. The frame is designed to be that way, so you probably would be able to avoid a lot of bodily harm if you were to wreck in one of them.

    There's such a little amount of mass in a car that small though, that if you do wreck it a huge amount of the energy displaced ends up getting absorbed by the people in the car. Other cars are a lot bigger, and have a lot more mass to absorb the energy. If you were to wreck in one of these you'd probably die from whiplash...depending on your speed and everything of course.
