Default mini cooper

i dont know if this was worth it or not but i had fun. i was sittin there at a red light when i look over and this guy in a mini cooper starts revvin at me. he wanted to race so i said ok. the light turned and he took off like a raped ape out of the whole. i was like oh ****. but once i got some traction it was all over from there. sorry for the lousy kill but like i said it was still funny.

My wifes Cooper S ran a 13.9 with minimal mods to the blower, its a fun car. I am secure in my manhood, dont need a V8 to remind me I'm a man.

I never raced it against an F body, but I have beat Gt's in it.

I think they did some sort of engine work to one and got it doing 0-60mph in like 2.1 sec. maybe they sell a kit that gets them to move out from a dig? Who knows what happens once they hit 60mph though, they probably fall on there face.

I believe you are takling about the 3rd party company that makes and electric motor hybrid package for the cooper, it has 4 electric motors, one at each wheel and has a net 650HP.

This was almost certainly not that car, it was probably just a good lauch by a near stock Supercharged S model.

Did you read his post?????

he was not comparing a cooper to an LS1, he called a cooper a girls car and gay.

While, I personally woudl never have bought one just for me, I am glad my wife talked me into buying it, its fun factor is off the chart.

I'd sport one if it was my wife's car. Just as long as I can say it's not mine.
