...Record-Setting MINI Dragster The outrageous carbon fiber MINI dragster, created in collaboration with extreme California based tuner FIREBALL TIM RACING (FTR), wowed crowds at import and tuner shows and events this past fall. The car was equally as impressive on the drag strip. The MINI USA/FTR dragster as the "World's Fastest MINI" is potent, with the turbo, supercharged and nitrous powered MINI Cooper S dragster pulling a best-time of 11.26 seconds at 121.26 miles per hour in the quarter-mile run.

but really 11.26 in the 1/4 mile for a 4 cylinder isn't that bad concidering it's not a Tube frame or fiberglass body. like all funny cars are.
you go to a fiberglass body plus tube frame you can pick up some time due to weight.
