Not a racing story but looked good!
 

I have a friend that has a MINI COOPER S and he is always talking about, 2 weeks ago I was telling him about my car and that I had the CAI and the exhuast and wood have it on by the next game. When we left of caurse he took off burning the tires. Well I have to say I was kinda excited to go there this weekend, I showed him the toys and told him that at about 10-15mph I can nail it and brake the tires loose because of the torqe gain. He kinda blew me off and when we left I went first. He jumped in his car and got behind me (we were in a 5 story P-garage). I hit it and it lit up like no tomorrow. The weather was perfect! When we got out and hit the first light instead of pulling up next to me he got behinde me!
I just thought it was nice to see some one look at the car that way. Has anyone taken on a mini s? Im not saying I would have beat him, I need to get him to the track one day.

mini S's are pretty quick. MSP-quick stock for stock.

You'd stand a better chance racing him from a dig and pray he can't launch the car!

mini s at a track would beat you hands down, no offence. stock, they can out slalom a dodge viper...

Yea I figured, the little bastards are nice! I couldnt afford one at the time. For all of you young bucks out there keep it in your pocket, kids put you back a lot of money for a long time#@$@$!
But I would trade places for all the money in the world!!!

fun lil cars...quick too..watch out for the works ones too..got shown up pretty good by one on the highway.....in the twisties a mildly built pro can hang right with it...thats a battle of drivers..
