yes the ferrari could have launched better, but maybe the smart car could have too. whatever conditions effect one car, effect the other (except driver). maybe the track condition wasnt good so they both were runnin slow. either way, price would be alot less on the smart, theres still a massive cool factor too (altho not as much as a ferrari), imagine pulling up at the lights, and havin ur ass handed to you by one of those.... thats got to be the ultimate shame

just saw the numbers, and the old gen smartuki could run a 12.4... i think it could keep up with the ferrari if they both get a good launch

i reckon my nonna was driving it....

While helping mine make gnocchi in the passenger seat :P

This is the quoted quartermile time:

Quarter Mile: 12.4 sec @ 115 mph

Specs taken from - http://www.2sportscars.com/ferrari-f430.shtml

So your right, the driver sucks the wang... 0.8seconds over the quoted 1/4 mile time is a big discrepancy. And watching the video I reckon he coulda nailed him with a decent launch.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
