730HP Nissan GT-Rs are no Match for Bugatti Veyron 16.4

When it comes to straight-line acceleration, there are a few (if any...) street-legal cars in this world that can compete with the VW Group's 1,001-horsepower-strong Bugatti Veyron 16.4 supercar.

As you can see in this video that was most likely shot in Russia, even a pair of heavily-modified Nissan GT-Rs tuned to churn out some 730HP (or so it is claimed) are having a hard time keeping up with the Veyron. Of course, the Bugatti costs as much as two-dozen or so Nissan GT-Rs, but that's another tale for another time... For now, follow the jump to watch the clip.

Kudos to Chris for the tip!

Smart Fortwo's Success

smart-test-drive

Many of us are asking whether the Smart Fortwo launch, was a triumph, or a disappointment! Motor Trend stated "consider the lack of the smart fortwo's success." People either love or hate their Smarts and there's not much in-between, but on an objective basis we can't find fault with the use of the term "lack of smart success". This in no way however reduces our enthusiasm for the Smart or SCOA's continued optimism and anticipation for the long term success for the brand. We believe four-doors are not mandatory .

Motor Trend states "consider the lack of the smart fortwo's success." And many of our members and readers ask if the Smart’s USA launch, was a triumph, or a disappointment!

As North America’s oldest and largest smart car portal our slant is Americans either loves or they hate the Smart, and not much in-between. But on an objective basis Smart Car of America can’t find fault with the use of the term "lack of smart success". This in no way however reduces our enthusiasm for the Smart or SCOA's continued optimism and anticipation for the long term success for the brand.

But as far as the lack of the smart car success goes, after a strong start with 50,000 reservations (some say many more) the lack of available cars, failure to communicate with reservation holders and the tanking economy, there's now an abundance of stock is available.

Nevertheless, if we are to be honest with ourselves the smart is yet to be a major success not only in the US, but world-wide, and smart, GmbH was nothing but a money pit for Daimler over the past 10 years.

The very slow sales and the financial burdens are also being felt in America by our Penske smart centers. Considering the smart center dealers with their freestanding buildings, fees, and long waits for inventory hurt many of the dealers who invested large sums of cash (during a far greater economy) for the privilege of selling the smart, their returns have been discouraging.
1-promotions-smart-usa
Smart sales for the past month averaged approximately 3 cars per week per smart center, not quite what Penske envisioned and the smart centers had bet on! Some smart centers did far worse.

There is no doubt the sales base is diminutive, many of the published reviews (with little to no explanation from smart USA) have been negative and smart USA and their smart centers lacked the communication skills Smart car buyers needed for these innovative cars.

However, it's hard to gauge the success of the Smart Fortwo with traditional methods! None-the-less gas prices and the terrible economy have impacted sales.

Smart USA and Penske wouldn't be opening any champagne bottles, any time soon. But, we do think it's a bit premature for anyone to insinuate that the smart is unsuccessful. Like anything else it's a long drive to the end of a journey.

For the naysayers, there have been over 35,000 smarts sold in the U.S. not bad for a new niche model launched at the beginning of the worst economic downturn since 1929.

Penske initially stated he hoped to sell 10,000 units per year and then he moved quickly when the first year's demand hit almost 25,000 cars. He also stated he'd hoped to sell 25,000 this year as well. It looks like it will be more in-line with the 13,000. They're still ahead of their original projections.

Not too bad given our economy, the drop in fuel prices and the fact the smart USA group dropped the ball and upset many possible future buyers. Smart Car world wide sales for the first 8 months of 2009 were 78,600 units and sales for August were off 23% with sales of only 7000 units world wide.

Those not waiting for a Smart Fortwo electric drive model and still long to drive a great city car like a Smart Fortwo this could be the perfect opportunity.

Times have changed, as supply and demand for the Smart Fortwo in the U.S. have leveled off and as fuel prices dropped from their all time highs smart USA’s smart centers are full of 2009 inventory. This is evident by the money saving offers and bargains available through smart USA and if you’re a skillful shopper some unbeatable prices on barely driven 2008 and 2009 smart cars. Just check out the available used smarts on the SCOA forum or EBay! Like a 2009 Smart Fortwo Brabus with Carlsson upgrades that sold for $15,000!

According to an email from our local smart center now through December 31, 2009, anyone (without a $99.00 deposit) can have a payment for as little as $198 a month with 1.9% APR financing. Smart USA is also offering numerous additional money saving offers. During what smart USA is calling smart Value Days if you take a test drive (great idea before you buy any car) you'll receive a gift from the smart USA Collection of personal accessories. You’ll need to call or visit your local smart center for details.

Be on his deathbed confession used in homicide

SHELBY Patricia Buff had dreamed about this day more than 40 years of them, learn, someone would eventually stand trial for the murder of her sister.

A judge ruled Tuesday that a deathbed confession in the case of the 1966 murder of 11-year-old may Brenda Sue Brown, of Shelby. The ruling opens the door for the trial of a man accused of murder.

"I knew this day would come," Buff said Tuesday. "It's the best feeling in the world."

Thurman "soupy" Price, 80, was arrested, and in the first degree murder in 2007 by Lori Lail said her grandfather was dying of cancer, said she was attacked and he and Price had planned the rape of Brenda.

According Lail said Earl Parker, in 2002, the price of the girl hit with a stone and slain, have to fight them. Her naked body was later found in the woods.

Lail said in court this week that her deceased grandfather network. She did not matter in 2006, comes after a 13-part newspaper series on Brenda's murder appeared in "The Shelby Star.

Judge Timothy Kincaid presided at a hearing this week to determine whether Lail statement could be used in a process. Although he had mastered, "Kincaid said of the state" is an uphill battle "to prove guilt of the price.

No trial date has been set.

Tuesday, lawyers said Price, David Teddy, Lail allegations are not reliable, and pointed to inconsistencies in her account.

In addition, he led the hospital medical records showing grandfathering Lail sometimes confused and had a "change in mental status."

Attorney Rick Shaffer, said the statement was the time of Parker's death is near .... a strong motivation in order to tell the truth. "

Parker commented on the memory of the events, Shaffer said something like the murder of a 11-year-old girl burned "in the brains, she decided to self ... it is a bit of time are not deleted from memory. "

Among the witnesses Shaffer Robert Roseboro was mentioned in the declaration as a potential witness Lail murder of Brenda's. He was 13 at that time and was regarded by the authorities as the prime suspect in the murder.

Roseboro serving a life sentence for murdering a woman in 1968 Shelby.

On Tuesday Roseboro - slim and Soft Spoken - entered the room in a yellow prison overalls. Much of the time in the witness box, held his chin with his left hand and closed his eyes.

By Shaffer questioned about the details of the murder, Roseboro usually had no answers.

"I have no knowledge of this matter," he said.

When Shaffer asked if he knew he would have considered a suspect, Roseboro said: "I was a suspect in any case."

Teddy's began to question: "Did you murder Brenda Sue Brown?"

"No," said Roseboro.

Roseboro said he did not witness the murder.

Amounts, Shaffer said that although the case was old, "the state is hopeful there is no age limit for the court. ... Justice is not after 40 years."

And despite the cost of a process that "justice can not have a price," said Shaffer.
