I was completely surprised by the times... but I still absolutely love this vehicle. I have no doubt you guys will keep going. The build is insane. I see 10's eventually. Go for it!
Awesome car man, don't let these guys in the comments get to you! The sheer amount of custom-fabrication and effort that had to be put into this car is grounds enough for praise. I hope to see more videos in the future!
This car is awesome. I mean, hot rodding has always been about basically, putting big engines in small cars., and this is a fine example. Now I have to search for a V8 prius LOL
Dont let the trolls bother you. They havent done shit with their lives and focus all their energy on being full of shit. Good job man, Still dont understand how a 462 fits in that thing.
Couldn't agree more. I may be a ford person. But, have to admit this is pretty awesome. Still, how the hell they get that big of a motor in a tiny smart car?? Talk about extensive frame/body work.
He's sitting in the very back of it, that's how it fits. I'd guess if this were crashed on the street, the engine would likely decapitate you at about the waist.
Its still be sorted out guys. The frame is all custom built. The big block is mild not race. New trans was recently installed and it pulls the wheels twice as high. Just wait when its all dialed in!
Very cool!!! I've always wanted to see one with the blower sticking out the front end. It would resemble the little model car I had as a kid with the crazy looking monster out the roof with the gear shifter. Very nicely done. I wish I had the shop, money and talent to do it.
Great vid. back in my(the)day late60's early 70's at a dragstrip known as U.S.30 there was a car called NO BIG THING about the same size as smart car think it was a simca or Renault w/v8 . more wheelies bounced all over the place. Fun to watch. Thanks for posting Rt.66 is a great track.

victoryredcolorado i mean its pretty impractical... a t/a with a bbc or a bbc fox would run 9s all day which is a fair comparison when you look at the weight of the cars.. as for what im racing a cam head full bolt on '99 t/a running 11.39 @ 121 on nitto street drag radials. stock t56 stock 10 bolt.
Trix Thats the whole point but the chassis is still not setup correctly and the wheeelbase makes it quite the handful and once figured out times will drop...it is certified for 8.50 so yeah lol
what's certified for 8.50? the cage? that's just a safety rating. but it is a pretty insane build and its not my money so idgaf lol. good luck on going sub 10! or whatever the goal is i hope you get it
Kevin Fountain , This was shot when it was first built and working out the suspension and trans and the whole setup...its 10's now and 2015 look for it easily in the 9's! Check it out...th-cam.com/video/geDotOKW7vY/w-d-xo.html
The guy did a great job of converting, but it still looks like a Hot Wheel I had as a kid. It looks like he just wanted a conversation piece and for his efforts I commend him. I still want to see a race between a smart car and a Yugo.
+victoryredcolorado ok i watched the new video...good job on getting it under 10 but how much power are you making seems like you wouldnt have a hard time at getting it into the 8's or even down into 7's not knocking what you have i like shit like this...how much does it weigh with u in it...
Not mine but a guy who pits next to us. Can't remember the horsepower but I know he has tried different trans/gear setups along with suspension. It's a handful with the short wheelbase so that is the sticking point trying to get it to launch straight. He hasn't had it out this year at all but hopefully I will get a chance to ask him the specs
As ridiculous and wasteful as I see this, to each his own, man. I watch some of the crazy tractor pulls and things like that. Too much time and money for such a ridiculous sport... but people do it, so right on! Crazy stuff is fun!
Very cool car.Excellent workmanship.I understand that such a radical build needs to be sorted out with a low power motor.Mid 9s should be a joke with a mild BBC.I think I would have gone LS3 to save some weight,but I still love the car.I think it's going to be a handful when you start making some power.Good luck. Ken Seggie National Performance 8.72 @ 158 (14 years ago.V6 Regal T)
In the early 1970's the Mustangs, Camaros, Vettes and Mopar Muscle Cars were running in the high 13's. An original GTO with 389 and "3-deuces" barely broke high 13's with fat rear tires. Stock tires they were mid-14's. If you think something in the Elevens isn't fast try doing it. Troll...
randy109 Yeah, but suspension and weight where terrible, not to mention horrible tires and overall technology. If this smart is supposed to be powered by a big block chevy and taking in acount it's weight and the chasis it's showing 11 seconds makes no impact whatsoever to me.
I'm surprised he didn't extend the wheelbase for better handling and put the front axle a foot or two beyond the front bumper. That was pretty common with Crosley's, Fiats, etc back in the days of Altered class drag cars
This is like back to the 60's/70's ..... Many street rods dropped a 289 in a VW beetle like did with the Smart ,then pinto's and Vega'srunning 429&454 in back over a modified transaxle.Even saw a cushman or two done that way.Many forgot about the wheeliebar and had something that was uncontrolable.
Awesome, I read a lot of negative posts... Awesome build, use mine for a positive post. I would buy one just to cruise the beach street here in So Cal.
LOL Yeah I saw that a while back. You said it was in the 9's some where so I took a look LOL I get a kick out of that thing man. I'm an old school big car guy and wouldn't be cause dead tooling around around town in a Smart car but that think is just great. I will be honest though I kinda liked it better when you still had the original chassis just because it was a little more of the car involved and imagine just boosting people on the street out of some money but I know you wouldn't want to use that with what's in it now, I wouldn't. Keep it up man that things cool, makes me laugh too LMAO

I don't understand how he's not running low 10's.
I don’t understand either and it’s been 6 years.
It's probably because he said the engine was mild and not set up for race

It's not a smart car when you make longer and wider, it's then just the same size as everything else.

This versus faster proms
Some people may ask why, the people who build these only ask why not, and if they can find a reason not to they do it anyway. This is F***ing awesome.
Great. You built the slowest big block I ever seen.
Can you hear how mild the cam is? Idiot.
Also consider that this was his second time at the track and the suspension is nowhere near being finished and set up.

How is it slow if it runs sub 12 second?
