Tell him to give the car back to his sister. Mini's are such girl cars.

Talked to a painter the other day. He swore his Mini s could do mid 12s in the 1/4. I asked him what mods he had. He looked at me funny, he had no clue what I was talking about. I asked him to take me for a ride. Needless to say it was a slug. We got back and I told him to hop in my truck. Went wot and he nearly **** himself. His eyes popped out like a stomped on bullfrog. I think it may have scared him a little. Much more fun to get ricers in your vehicle, that way you can hear what they say and see their face. I also informed him on a good day I may hit high 13s.

High 12's are possible if you get a good 60' If not, I say probably low 13's...

haha.. mini cooper running 12s? maybe if they stuffed an m5 engine in it?

i agree with quick silverado... nothing like the look on people's faces the first time I go WOT from a 25mph roll... and my car is still stock. I've got a gal I work with who's friend drives a sentra SE-R spec V with some work done, who told her that he could definatly beat my car in a race. i asked her what he ran in the 1/4... she came back the next day with "he says he should be in the low 15s". i bust out laughing, and told her to inform him that i run in the 13s. I havn't heard anything back from him about a race. oh well.

take the mini owner's money. i'm normally not big on racing for cash, but i'd go hit up mr atm for a hundred or two to put down. just tell him you want to race to 120mph. he'll probably look at you and say "your car goes that fast?". hah. you can spin tires for the first 60 feet and still beat him by the time you're up to 60mph.
