A Mini Cooper S would destroy us...
I was just thinking, that the new Mini Cooper S would destroy us if we ever met up with one. It handles like a go-kart, has 168hp to a car that is smaller and lighter... I think the Mini Cooper S would be one hell of a racer... it looks so innocent and wimpy, it's almost like a slap in the face when you get beat by one... haha
Sort of like the new VW Beetle S... typically flowery cuty cars whipping us... just a funny thought.

Rep Power: 0 They've always been that way. The original ones were little terrors and really po'd the guys that raced against them. They used to win often. I'd love to have one, but I'm 6'1. I'd have to be pried in and out, probably.

Actually, they've become a lot spacier in this new generation. Nowhere near as much room as our rides though. Still you'd have to try it out to be really sure. And they are basically BMW, so fu(king expensive. For the price of a cooper-S you could get an RSX-S with a bunch of options.
Compared to the New Beetle thoug, the Mini wins in every corner for me. The New Beetle basically sucks.

Rep Power: 0 The mini coopers on Grand Terismo are extremely slow. They are like driving a golf cart but that is a video game.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

It just seems that way because you're driving so many fast cars. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
