Why would you buy a Smart car?

I was thinking more of a Daily Driver.

 

Zip around town in a 5 speed, 200HP, 2000 lbs car.

 

It would be really fun, and all the gas money you save could go into Z parts.

 

 

This would only be profitable (or a break even situation) if someone GAVE you the hayabusa powered smart.

I was talking about the Fiat. Also, those numbers are arbitrary, I was just guessing.

 

I guess it's 170 HP. And they're bringing them here?? That could be cool B)

Why don't they sell 'hot hatches' in the states?

 

I would drive the crap out of a Fiat 500 Abarth

well last i heard they are looking to bring the fiat 500 to the states. give it a year or two. with the whole downturn of the economy to bail out the "big three", fiat had something to do with it for saving them. so yeah expect to see them in the states soon enough.

I sat in an Electric Smart car once, they are pretty roomy for being so small and I'm about 6 Foot. I would totally buy one someday, just for the heck of it.

 

Then put a Hayabusa motor in it right?? Or maybe a SBC??? Or even a 7.3 Diesel with a T76 turbo???

Kinda off topic but i think it would be pretty funny to buy a prius and swap a v8 with a quiet exhuast lol pretty cool sleeper i think

 

Nah you have to put a huge stinky diesel with stacks coming out of the roof just to piss other prius owners off haha. Just imagine flooring it and having it billowing out smoke all over the place.

You can actually already do this:

As a bonus, it is a 6 speed, re-sells quite well, and was built to be a sports car (ie it isn't as tall as it is wide and/or long).
