Hi

I currently drive an SRT-4 but, lately everybody has been telling me that I should've gotten a Cooper. I didn't think much about it until I saw what a Coopr could do. I was at the local hangout one Friday when this kid (in a Cooper) turned at the stoplight zoomed up the side street & without slowing down just turned into the parking lot across the street. I was quite amazed by this because my Neon could never have done that . I've been doing some research & now I'm hooked. Within the next year I'll be trading my horsepower for handling I'll sell the SRT-4 & get a Mini Cooper S.

Your SRT-4 will have more power but never match the handling of the MINI

Welcome to NAM Bebo!!! Neon SRT-4s are a neat little car, but you can't beat a MCS for handling and the funfactor is out of this world. Keep in touch on NAM and you'll get as much info on MINI'S as you want. My first was a 04MC and than I traded for a 06MCS and haven't regreted it since. I have an old Corvette also and my MCS is much more fun to drive and a whole lt better on gas. Good luck on your quest!!

Thanks for the replys...

...I really like your site. You're much friendlier on here than most forums. The SRT is fast but, I like the twistys more than drag racing & ya'll get way better fuel mileage too.
