If mine COULD do that, I doubt I'd be getting 32 MPGs.
Nice driving and cool Mini !

If I could overcome the torque steer I think mine will be able to do that...

El Profe,
Very nice! Looked like a mouse running from a cat.
What time did you run? What speed?

I've smoked a couple of those p.o.s. Mustangs, but on a circuit. I'm sure the audience couldn't believe it.

That is a hot video.
Do you have a torque steer issue in your Vtec?
If so, what can be done to overcome it?

torque steer is minimal with proper alignment.
right hand drive helps because ti pulls to the left.
a lot of people say that narrower wheels also help, but i've never experimented.
Surprisingly, it's not too bad considering I lack LSD in my car.
