This was posted yesterday. Wow...I mean, that price is insane for the work that was put into this car. I know the guy who built it, this thing is basically a daily driver that could even make a hayabusa blush.
I actually didn’t know the builder sold his Drag smart (seller isn’t the original owner). Last I heard he was tuning the engine to make short work of even faster cars.
It has a Paseo engine with a massive blower.
Oh, if I waited like a month longer I could have had this one!
(I don’t know why the thumbnail doesn’t work, the video does work though)
Passenger seat is included; looks like the seat gets removed for drag events.

I like how it’s still got most of the interior.

There are no rules that say you can’t have 5.
Although, if you do get another Smart, I’ll pencil in your intervention for mid-June.

A fifth should move it up to early May at the very latest.

I no longer have nearly enough money for that lovely one, or else I’d already have it by now!
WE SHOULD CROWDFUND IT!

This one as a fifth Smart sounds like a wheelie bad idea.

I’m not sure about my availability that month. Also would give me enough time to buy a third E9X, so we could have a dual intervention.

I had yours down for July, but that works.

Sell 3 and buy that one! I’m the wrong one to talk though. Current roster: S40, 93, 380SL, Oddessey, Tundra

That would look good on you ;)

Maybe someone will buy it and give it to my or something. lol

That an uhhhhh interesting price. Unfortunately, I’d imagine you could only use that kind of thing for events and show. Otherwise, not too much use you can get outta that.

E90M3 intervening with Miss Mercedes’ car hoarding habits?
I’m sure this can only end well.

Probably for the best. You’re a speed freak enough as it is :)

After he backed off, he reported that the supercharger began malfunctioning too!

The guy who built it is an insanely good builder. To prove its viability as a daily, he took it on a bunch of road trips, touring the country during smart rallies. When the build was first finished, it had some engine tuning issues and would sometimes randomly die, but he’s since fixed that.
A couple of his previous projects include a smart spare tyre that is basically a motorcycle wheel and tyre with three lugs, four smarts with an awesome custom turbo setup (IIRC all four are still on the road), among other things.

Yeah but, what cop will give me a ticket in that? I’d just be like “Well officer, there’s no way I was going 150, these cars can only do 90, tops.”
Do you happen to have half of $10k laying around that I can borrow?
![]() 03/07/2018 at 07:04 |

Uhhhh, literally all of them. Although I’d be more worried about you wrapping yourself around a telephone pole.
Guuuurl, if I had that kind of money laying around, I already would have spent it on this.
