It happens every time. There are movies and stories about how this works. David versus Goliath. The skinny little kid who takes approximately three seconds of the school bully’s crap before handing him his ass on a silver platter in front of everybody. The house cat that goes full-on psychotic to chase away a grizzly bear from the backyard. Underestimating something based on size is the oldest mis-step in the book, yet here we are: Mustang, Shelby Mustang, Evo, a turbocharged Silverado with all-wheel-drive…and a scooter. Like a pit-bike kind of scooter. You know the type: it has some kind of name like Kymco or MotoTec, makes a Vespa look classy compared to it’s plastic-fantastic self, and is only just slightly more advantageous than walking. Calling this little buzz-bomb a “sleeper” isn’t right at all…anything that rolls up with a wheelie bar, especially something as otherwise laughable as this two-wheeled contraption is, should automatically fall under suspicion. Key word: “should”. You would think after one run, that people would get the hint and let it go…ok, maybe the guy with the Suzuki crotch-rocket has a good reason to test the scooter out. Everybody else…well, hope they could laugh at their misfortune, because getting spanked by a moped isn’t the start of a good night out.
This is an ok attempt, but with better cameras, of the old “WS6 vs scooter” from the Stone Age of the Internet on FuelSlut. In this new vid you can tell the cars aren’t trying hard, you can hear the low rpms.
