Now let's just hope a Semi or ANYTHING larger than a Yaris doesn't hit you...

Congrats! Sounds like you are into it for sure.

If I may ask, what percentage of the cars total cost did the mods set you back? Lorinser and Brabus can't be cheap.

Congrat. Next up LS1 swap?

That is awesome!! Your smart car looks terrific! Funny thing... my co-worker and I (who also owns an X5) always talk about modding a smart car. I would bet putting a turbo in a smart car will give alot of supercars a run for their money.

Look at the proportions and aerodynamics of that vehicle, there is more than one reason it isn't given high power numbers.

Wheelbase 73.5 inches
Track width front/rear 50.51 inches/54.53 inches
Length 106.1 inches
Width 61.38 inches
Height 60.71 inches

X5 for example in contrast:

Wheelbase 115 inches
Length 191 inches
Height 69 inches
Width 76 inches

The smart car is a driving brick.

Smart cars are limited to 90mph for a reason :thumbup: It would be an out of control death trap in triple digits without substantial suspension modification, just look at the height of the vehicle as opposed to is wheelbase and size.

Plus here in NY, we have retards that race at the stoplight up to 40mph before they hit another traffic light. :p::rofl::confused::dunno::cool:

Wow, if you have time and money to mod a Smart Car. I think you would do a lot better modding other cars of yours. Congrats. No one ever says Smart car is a sport car or a performance car, why the heck did someone compare Smart with the X5? You still decorate your house even you know its a 1,500 sf rambler which can't withstand the storm like most of the bigger and newer houses can right?

all you need now is a hayabusa motor and you'll be running low 12's. look on youtube for the smart car ferrari race
