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.

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
