I bet that car was low 11's if they kept going.
'08 Smart Car with a 1.5 Liter Toyota Paseo Sprintex Blown engine give the Shelby a run for the money and barely loses as he sheared the cogs off the blower belt after the wheelstand and slows to a 13.90

A GT500 running high 13s. Something is very wrong there. Maybe a poser. V6 perhaps.

I think you misread my intension with the post, not poking fun at the mustang just thought it was pretty cool watching that Smart car pull the wheels.
BTW
The 1LE isn't built for drag racing, I'd gladly have some fun on a road course with him.

Your heading for your thread reads: Smart Car spanks a Mustang

Thats not poking fun. We as Camaro owners shouldnt talk crap about something we cannot outrun.

Last time I checked which is never a stock smart car can not pull the tires off the ground and basically almost flip the car on its trunk , Unless I am wrong there might be something a little extra under the hood . Of course who cares its a ugly box

Here's another video of (what I presume is) the same Smart car running 12.5:

Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Anyhow, I was referring to the op's thread title. How did the dumb car spank the mustang when it lost?

Because a few people seem offended by my title using the word "spanking" I'll retract it, god forbid we use a little humour.

Some of you guys are too far clever for me, I would have never noticed the win light so thanks for your amazing observation.

I think anyone that watches this will realize the Smart car let off well before the finish line (for what ever reason) so it should be pretty clear which car is faster. Yes, I do realize the Smart car isn't stock and yes that Mustang is a beast so I don't need to be corrected with that too. I've had the pleasure of riding many times in a friends new GT500 so I do realize the performance level. I also know my 1LE isn't a Top Fuel or Funny Car in the 1/4, that's way I don't race it there.

Lighten up and watch the video.............or don't
