Okay, I'll ask it: IF we can trust that video to be truthful, WHAT THE HECK IS UNDER THE HOOD OF THAT SMART CAR???

I do conced that the driver of the Ferrari had a slow reaction time, AND took off too timidly, but still...

Someone educate us on the Smart Diablo...

400m roughly equals 1/4 mile...

13.4 for a Ferrari isn't that good of a time
13.29 for a Smart Car is incredible.

Imagine: the Smart Car could have been replaced by a twin-charged MCS and had roughly the same outcome.

The link says "Smart 4two with an Suzuki GSXR1000 Engine which has been tuned to 180 bhp (120 more bhp then the stock Smart)."
