Yeah right. Ferrari's aren't made for the brainless engineering exhibition
called drag racing. Strap a 'busa engine in anything the size of that
Tupperware backpack of a car and it'll beat an F430 in an 1/8th mile. Let
them both loose on Fiorano, and I'll put my annual salary on the Prancing
Stallion.
Pretty wild little bugger, though. How fun would it be to roll around
getting pointed at in a Smart car, then dusting a 'Vette from light to
light?

That isn't your stock, off-the-lot Smart car so this video is totally
irrelivant to anyone considering purchasing a Smart car for it's
disigned-for purposes. Furthermore, from my research the standard
Smart car requires premium fuel and gets about 40 mpg. My 2001 Civic
EX Coupe, twice the size and with a larger engine, gets 40 mpg even
after 238000 (yes, 238K highway commuter miles) and uses regular
unleaded. And I think even todays basic Honda Civic costs LESS than
the SMART.
I think the SMART car is a joke, considering other more viable
options...

Can we see how that SMART would stand up to a 25 mph rear-end
collision. I expect the passenger(s) would be laying on the hood of
the colliding car.
