kalv 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 It will do for the misses.. she's always wanted one.. and being a petrol head if i was going to get one... had to be a works one or hartge.. in standard form just doesn't quite do it... Wonder what it would be like up against my VR.. mini has more power, but less torque and supposedly weigh alot more...? Link to post Share on other sites
petervr6 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 the vr should outrun a mini as they say BHP sells cars Torque gets you there Link to post Share on other sites
bakesty 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 i took both the supercharged mini and the new turbocharged one on a trackday ( dont tell the dealership) and they are both pretty quick i think they would just pip my vr6 but the new turbocharged one is rapid, i was behind a mate in an e36 m3 both know the track well and i was all over him in the mini. in thje end i had to return it after my 4 hour test drive with smoking breaks and melted tires Link to post Share on other sites
kalv 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 perhaps round corners mini would take it.. but not in a straight drag race.. might have to test it.. but then i would need a driver to trust to take the mini...? Link to post Share on other sites
vr6newcomer 1 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 very well built cars, and ideal for the misses!! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 If you feel the urge to spend more money on it, I believe Pitstop Developments / G-Werks have already done some tuning work in the Cooper S. (6) Link to post Share on other sites
kalv 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 210bhp is more than enough... besides i've bought a full exhaust system and air filter.. so no plans for any more... Link to post Share on other sites
