Another JCW newbie

Hey everyone. I'm the newbie here. I just got my 09 CR/B JCW. I've been looking at cooper S' for a while now and then found the JCW. The test drive sold me. I traded an 05 350Z and was leary of not being able to find a car that could handle as well or still put me back in my seat. I am highly impressed at what this car can do and the mpg is killer.
I'll post some pics when the weather gets nicer. I'm already getting the modding itch.

ive always liked the Z.
but its out of my price range since in mexico prices for cars are about 1.3x more expensive that US prices. ( + the USD to MXN [mexican peso] change rate).

for example my 08 MCS cost me 320,000 pesos (back when USD was 10 MXN)
so roughly 32k USD for MCS with the loaded one (although it doesnt include heated seats or folding mirrors)

a 2008 350Z was around the 700,000 pesos ( 70k USD back in april last year)
and in the US the 350Z costs how much? 35k? 40 loaded?


anyways... what i meant to say is... how do you feel the mini Vs the 350Z.
does it live up to the Z? handling/ performance/ feel.... etc

i love my mini but would trade it in anyday for a 350Z (370Z ofc)

I saw two idiots lined up at a light a little while back. 350z vs 2007MCS. By the time they got to around 80mph (best guess) the mini was 1.5 car lengths ahead of the 350z.

Made me to know my little MCS JCW could take a 350z if need be.
