rc1320 is infamous around these parts
So you actually traded the car in rather then swapping the panels? How did that go? I'm thinking about selling my smart.

In my case, trading it in cost less than swapping the panels !

That's fast enough for that car because it wasn't designed to be a rocket. Hey, at least you can beat a Prius on the freeway.

You just need to push it a little harder!

I found that its actually limited in fifth gear by engine RPMs rather than by speed.

Great thing about the smart is that 4th and 5th are basically overdrive and on a recent drive to Spokane with an average speed of 82 MPH I was able to pull off 52 MPG.

On the other hand I've managed to get my around town mileage as low as 25 MPG.

thats funny! i am comfortable doing 75-80pmph in my smart, especially with my 17 inch wheel and tires (195 front/225 back) but any faster, hell no. that picture rocks.
