I'd love to have a VTEC Mini. That would just be one amazing car to drive. Too bad the pocket book can't afford it and I'm not sure I'd consider it a daily driver . It's like a replica Cobra, except the replica has 3x more power and is more expensive than the original. On that note, I'd love to have a Mk2 or Mk3 Cooper S as well.

IIRC, the wheels are 14", I'm the kinda guy that would flare the hell outta the fenders and slap on a set of 16"ers, just for S&G Prices start at 19k which is a helluva lot less than what I would pay for an SCed Pontiac Solstice(240bhp). I'm a hardcore Poncho fan, but the Vtec Mini could make me rethink my loyalties I would be willin' to sink 25k-28k into a built-to-order V-Mini. They currently have this Zeemaxed Vtec Clubman(w/trailer)for sale on their website, but they don't list a price...
...I must admit I prefer the Clubman grill, looks like a Mini-shoebox muscle car, kinda like' "I'm cute, but scratch me behind my ears and you'll draw back a bloody stump."

Well.....if I had something like that little GoMini beast, I really wouldn't care if diehard Mini fans or anyone else respected me or the car or not. I'd be a Corvette-Killer again. Had a friend who had a 425hp Civic. That thing scared the crap outta me. Totally nuts. I'm guessing that Mini would be the same kinda experience. I'd be on board to getting one if the bank account would say it's ok.
Cheers,

Does anyone know how much the do-it -yourself subframe kit from Go-Mini costs? I'm thinking this would be a killer D-mod SCCA solo2 car. Stripped down Mini shells or "restorable" cars can be had pretty cheap. If you were looking into a track-only car, you could do this on the cheap and possibly pick up FTD if no A-mod machines showed up.
I was thinking of a Locost "Lotus" 7 D-mod contraption. But this is a way cool approach.

Probably MINI Tec...as I think it's the offspring of the supposedly troubled gomini company.
I don't know those details though, so whomever does, feel free to pipe up.
