It's funny being a Des Moines resident hearing that it's a "small farm town" of 700,000.
Being from a small farm town of 300 in Eastern Iowa we see Des Moines as the big city.
Yeah, I get that…it’s like calling San Francisco (when it wasn’t the 7th layer of Dante’s Inferno it was ~750k residents) a small fishing village. What I didn’t get was his pronunciation…I get that the last ‘s’ in both Des and Moines are silent but homedude was pronouncing it DeMoy! 😳😬 Jeebus; he doesn’t even drink! 👀🤦🏽
Cheers! 🖖😎👍
We only have about 25k in Fort Dodge. But I will say many people don't realize how many high end builders come out of Iowa.
I find it funny how he says des Moines. 😂
not to be picky, but he didn't use the word small in reference to Des Moines
gonna have to start saying the N in Des Moines if you're gonna come back often 😩
That's what's bothering my Wisconsin brain.
Don't pronounce the "s," but DO pronounce the "n!"
Yeah, I paused the video right there. WHAT DID HE SAY? It's real simple, the "Des" is DA and the "Moines" simply rhymes with COIN, but starts with a M.
Loo
You almost need tractor weights on the front of that smart car
Always a treat when David comes over to tell stories. He also really enjoyed the Diablo drive.
Hi, Ed!
Ed, can we get a 2 million subs AMA or a top ten?! 👏🏼
You start to ask why, but then you realize it makes all the sense in the world!
I've driven this car as well, and can't remember another car that was as fun as this one. It's unreal. When he says the front wheels just start coming off the ground, he's not kidding. Eric is one of the best fabricators/welders in the country and an all around awesome guy with awesome ideas.
Nice to hear you give credit where credit is due.
Brent from pfi speed also helped build a k swapped smart car that was insane
I was so frustrated when they built that, it was on the FasterProms channel. I just thought it was too much power for the chassis too soon, they never really ran it NA to work out the handling. It was crashed heavily a couple of times and then shelved, Fasterproms stopped uploading soon after, I know that wasn't the main cause but it didn't help. K swapping and tuning it would have been enough, the original car was 70 hp, adding a zero to that is insane.
And being from there please say the name of the city correctly.
@@robmanueb. the brabusversion had around 100 from factory. We had one tuned to over 150hp with another turbo etc. . Final Power on Ethanol was never measured. Good suspension and wider tires made it onto the car as well. That thing was a blast to drive, some good cars had to leave the fast lane as we where coming. Sadly after 80k on its final setup (100k km in total) it got hit by a truck very bad. Driver and Codriver lucky got away with some minor bruises.
@@L0ckenmaster Sound like a blast! I think the FasterProms conversion would have been cool with 300-400 hp (still insane) but pushing 650+ was just too much of a handful, especially as the goal was drag racing. Easy for me to spend someone else's money though and they have to make their vids profitable.
The shift pattern forward vs back nothing to do with the transmission being flipped. I understand he’s not super technical but please be informed. A simple flip of the shift linkage would make up shift and downshift change.
The boosted Honda K swapped smart car from Faster Proms and PFI Tuning is the sickest smart car in the states. Built and tuned by 2 of the best tuners out there.
It is a shame that they immediately went to a lot of power instead of getting the suspension dialed in first. That car has so much potential!!!
The best part about this 600hp Smart Fortwo is it looks practically bone-stock, aside from eagle-eyed observations to the exterior.
Notably the tow-hook, the slightly widened fenders, the wheels, and the easiest spot - the turndown exhaust at the back, coming through the rear bumper.
Literal sleeper car here. Fascinating story!
That's the best part about the Hayabusa swap is stock banging 11k rpm all day and just loving it lol.
Years ago, I encountered someone at my neighborhood gas station in a Smartcar with the license plate DTHTRAP...😂
I was really expecting the tater tot from fasterproms
I haven’t seen anything on that from him in a long while. That was such an awesome build too and looked like massive amount of fun to wrestle with.
The last video I seen of it they were scared of it and afraid they would get hurt. I kinda took it as that project got shelved
My gamer brain will always see "HP" as "hit points" rather than horsepower and that's a heck of a Smart Car if it can tank 600 HP of damage.
Got the chance to attend last years Off The Line open house. Amazing experience. Looking forward to seeing you there again this year
We had one tuned to over 150hp with another turbo etc. . Final Power on Ethanol was never measured. Good suspension and wider tires made it onto the car as well.

In the beginning I was not a fan of the 451 but in the end it was responsible for some awesome memories!
Yall are so close to 2 million sub.. keep up the great content can't wait to see what y'all do for passing 2 milli???
I broke both feet a while back, and I can't do much anymore so I watch a lot of videos. It isn't very often on other channels, no matter how much I like them, that I catch myself grinning at videos. I do here.
Glad to see Dave telling stories again! Have a great day!
I worked across the street from the shop that built the smart car for a bit. I always hoped to hear an engine pop on the dyno.
Drove a fiat 500 abarth once. I’m convinced no one can can defeat an experienced driver in one of those
About as crazy as our LS Rav4! Nice work!
Just the title reminds me of my friends who powered a tube frame go-kart with a 440 snowmobile engine and a Chevette rear end.
I'm surprised that Chevette rear diff didn't shrapnel itself under the load of anything with more beef than the Iron Duke the Chevette came with...
What was up with the random Mustang interior shots at 6:50?
As someone who owns a Busa, that car would be one of the only cars that will give me the enjoyment of a motorcycle & it's one of the perfect troll around cars ever. Personal opinion
Sleeper to a whole new level.
This dude is lucky to have someone line up cars for him to review
So it's as about insane as I could imagine. Roger that. Love the shout out to builders!
Eric the type of guy opposite from Emile Leary. (Emile built motorcycle from a car while stranded in desert. Eric sortof built car from motorcycle while nothing better to do). Love to hear about both of them ❤❤
Welding is a fantastic skill to have.
Such a dope car 😂😂. Gotta be a blast driving that thing. But how does the body on the car hold up with that much torque?
That sounds like a proper riot
What would the estimated 0-60 be?
"subarus out of all things" 😅 "rsti" fuck yeah
Don’t forget the S in Moines 😂
Milkpnt should be the the license plate, its not even a gallon
No imagine even less weight, 2wheels and you have to lean to turn
Amazing fabricator - can’t even figure out how to make a shifter that goes the right way
First of all you’re saying Des Moines wrong. Second of all Des Moines is not small.
I want to drive it that's a cool idea
DeMoy?! 🤔 Being from Omaha, I've heard it pronounced many ways, but this is a new one.
These guys don’t know much about bikes all you have to do is flip the shift linkage 180 to GP shift and it would shift like a normal sequential box
@VINwiki I have a few great stories to share it would be nice to be on a video .
No stats? 0-60, 1/4, top end.
How much more evidence do yku need that some people just like living in deaths shadow😂
smart ass car😂
lol no doubt being from Iowa Des Moines is NOT a small farming town. It’s the state capital. Between there, Ankeny as well as Urbandale it’s probably 800,000 people. by the way, they have the biggest skate park in the United States. Been about 10 years since I’ve lived there and ain’t nothing changed. We were all rippin shit boxes in high school and and now everyone’s driving fast shit boxes haha. Honestly tho don’t be doin Iowa like that.
Hahaha off the line RUN DMI
What's going on with this guy's pronunciation? He just leaves out loads of letters.
😂
Sounds normal to me.
@@greghorne8949 Demoy and smarcar is not how you say DesMoines or Smart Car.
Why use many letr whn few do trik?
Tfs with americans ans beans😂😂
They run bike engines and have done for decades in lotus 7 or locosts, they will destroy this garbage

FORTWO❤
Pronounce Cities Correctly.
For no particular reason I find this guy incredibly annoying.
Some more Yuppie lies
Iowa is the worst state in the entire union. The whole place is as boring as Nebraska, as windy as Chicago. And smells like Jersey the entire time.
Can't agree more. Having lived there for 26 years its also currently too expensive to leave.
Go Hawkeyes!
@@razcue1 lol Hawkeye vodka isn’t even made in iowa
recycled story?
First
Yeah , - show us how fast you can't take a corner.
You can tell the guy is clueless can't even pronounce the town of Des Moines, in French or English you pronounce the N its NOT demoy? And its not that small.
