Smart Car... on a dyno????!!!! LOL you gotta see this!
Check it out! We had a couple of SMART CARS come in for Dyno
testing last week! I couldn't help myself! I grabbed a video camera and taped it. I made a couple of videos of it, and blogged about it. Funny stuff. The 2nd one actually had headers on it, and at least sounded pretty tough. It had better HP too than the first one (which was bone stock). Brothers Performance Blog the smart car article is at the top of the page. Hey, I can appreciate anyone who wants to see what kind of performance they're getting out of their car, and want to get a baseline established as they do their mods. But I gotta' admit I was a little concerned that these SMART cars would even fit on the ramps to get to the Dyno! LOL! Friend of mine said that he's got a sewing machine in his closet he'd like to test next! |

a 6.2% Hp gain by just putting on a header on that little thing. PRETTY DAMN GOOD for a skateboard.

If you lived in a real downtown metro area with really tight access, I could see this as a good alternative to a scooter.

72.5 hp for 1 litre? Not bad, so a 6.2 litre engine would produce 450 rwhp.
