How many of the 1500 Brabus Smarts are on SCOA?

[yellow smart]

I did not upgrade to a Brabus for one reason, fuel economy. I figured an upgrade to a sportier package would hurt the fuel economy and there are other cars I could buy if I wanted reduced mileage.

Did I figure wrong?

yes I think you may have figured wrong... I put an exhaust header and intake, 18" wheels, and sport suspension on my '03 toyota matrix (with full stock body kit) and it actually got a little bit better gas mileage. I could go from waco to dallas and back on half of a tank (about 200 miles round trip) got around 38 MPG on the highway compared to 36 with out the mods... IDK that's just my experience.

side note* one thing i did notice... when i went from the 15" steelies to the 18" TRD (rebadged Racing Harts i think) It did "feel" like it accelerated slightly slower (all though 1/4 mile times say otherwise...) barely even noticeable, but there. The car did however, feel more "solid". Especially on the highway. I shoulda paid more attention in physics.. I am sure we went over as to why these two things happened.

Well, I'm not one of the lucky 1500. BUT, I sure congratulate those that did.
