    Mini.........

    Not the Mini S....this was the base model mini. So the race....
    I just went to the store to get some quarters, and I saw the mini leaving the parking lot. I saw exhaust and wheels, and it was lowered. So I figured Id give it a run. I followed it out of the parking lot, and on to the road. He got on it somewhat, nothing insane. I paced him and got next to him, and looked over at him, and nodded. He dropped a gear and hit it, so did I. We were even for about 1/2 second, then he just took off. And kept going.... I never got the chance to catch him or see if he would like to pull over, but that thing was fast. I heard no s/c whine, or a turbo, so I think it was all NA. It was a cool car though.
    Eat ****.

              If u got beat by a stock mini and not the S, that is sad. I used to work at BMW/Mini and drove em all day. The base model has no pickup. The S is decent with the John Cooper being just badass. We had one guy come in with a twin charged mini, super and turbo chargers, that was badass. Im guessing he had some interal work done or it was debaged.

                  Some stock cars are like that as noise annoys people so they make it all quiet!

                    If it had a hood scoop it was an S or a hooded-non s. I don't think there is much SC whine, though I could be wrong.

                      Me neighbor has one and his is modded to the max, and you really dont hear much of the SC whine to it.

                        well.. since this will be the best view you had?
                        if the exhaust pipe was centered on the rear of the car it is an 'S', if it hangs right of center then it was a 'base' model. All the other parts are easy to swap out but relocating the exhaust would be a pain?

                          the exhaust was not in the center, it was off to the right. But it wasnt a stock exhaust either. I know of a guy around here that has a sick mini, and his S/C is incredibly loud.

                          Im pretty sure this wasn't the S version though. But whatever it was, it was incredibly fast. And no not the, my car is slower, and he 'seemed" fast, this was like lightspeed ****ing mach 7 fast. LOL. Id bet that was at least a 13 second car or better.

                            you should've known better than to get into a race with a mini! because it's either going to be totally badass or its going to be driven by a 75 year old grandma, who probably wouldn't know what you wanted.

                              Me too......
                              I raced some old guy in a Mini S, he wanted to race me . Funny old dude was revving at the light. I'll just say, for a S/C 4cyl I was not impressed. I have all the bolt-ons on my car, and a poor clutch, I reacted quicker to the light, from there we remained even until he shifted earlier and I jumped a bit, I think he was starting to pull on me when he got into 2nd, but I had to turn ...
