Just got out of work and had to get a pack of smokes so I pull in the gas station. As soon as I pull in there is this red mini revving at me before/during and as I pull out the gas station he is on my ass. long story short I didn't want to race on that road but the dude keeps pacing me then pulls alittle ahead and hits the hazards. that was the straw that broke the camels back,I was behind him (car moving slow in my lane so i got behind him). then there was open 2 lane roadroad. He hits it as do I and i'm on his ass until I pull a quick lane change and stretch by about a car. the little fucker suprised me cuz it took what seemed like forever to pass,as we were at each other's doors. When I got a fender in front I hit hazards.
I don't know his mods besides the exh/int i heard but the little fucker was quick.
after i was like a car and still pulling a slight bit I shut down,and he flies by and hits hazards.


sidenote: I thought this was funny, beat a g35 by about a car but lost to a 350z soon after (both seemed stock)

 

was that the new mini cooper s? If so, those are very quick. 0-60 in 6.2, and 1/4mile in 14.8s. With a few simple mods those things will literally fly. That's the result of turbo + lightweight.

 

not good with years of mini's so don't know if it was a new one,it was very clean though.looked/sounded good ........

 

I too beat a lot of G35s but the 350s always inch away from me at freeway speeds..

 

i always wondered about the Mini...i see a ton of Cooper S ones around here...

the thing must weight a 1/3 of what our car does...so their mods probably impact their performance at greater ratios than ours...

 

I think weight actually was on my side, he had himself+passengers and I was on about a quarter tank of gas by myself.........

 

either way those things are light man. lol. i thought those mini S does 0-60 in 5.5 seconds? i never raced them nor they ever tried to race me.

 

its more like 6.2s stock, but again simple mods and they will do 5.5 no problem.

 

i have yet to race one.. i wish more cars would fk with me like this... =(

 

theres an older generation cooper S with a smaller blower pulley and open header...it beat an rsx and somethin else..it was funny to see and hear

 

LOL! look at this. hybrid minis 0-60 in 4.5 seconds!! GOD DAMN! that will blow my car away.

look at those wheels.. looks like he has hydraulic on his car! LMao

 

impressive, some look really good and obviously if done up right the fly, but I could never get one, it reminds me of a clown car

wow,just thinking if had a full tank and his passangers it might have caught a big L .



















but I didn't

 

why is this? weight diff? geared diff? I thought the g had more power and was all around quicker??

 

350z is faster than g35 lighter and has more power

 

4 160 hp electric motors on each wheel?? wtf.

 

I know this is off topic, but last friday when we had the "hurricane" in the bay area, i seen this mini cooper get blown across 3 lanes of traffic on the bay bridge(70+mph winds)
