I know the first build cost them around 250k and they went 8's the first time so it just shows you that your boy know nothing about this sport.

But you seem to think so because Nissan did it for only $250K whick I am sure is an actually number . Before you go off calling someone a "moron in his hobby" you need to step back and look at what is really going on. This is how I KNOW that you don't have a clue as to how the racing world works. This guy has paved the way for many others in his field. Its not like he he throws sh*t at his car and pisses it away. There is a huge learning curve when you want to have 1500+ hp out of a 3.0L motor. This is a little more technical than twincharging your mini... At what boost level does the motor twist and the crank walks out the front of this 3 Liter motor... Nobody knew, he found out . How much horse power can the mains hold in this motor... Once again nobody knew and he found out. What clutch do you use to hold 1500+ hp... Only one way to find that out... By testing. I could make this list go on forever but I am hoping by now you unsterstand my point. When nobody has done it somebody has to lay the ground work. He did a lot of the ground work for the thousands that race this car today and doi it very consistently and reliably. Doesn't sound like a "moron in hi hobby" to me, but rather somebody who made a lot of things possible for others.

So unless you have something to say about your MINI being faster than my "worlds quickest and fastest non nitrous or turbo MINI" please dont post in this thread anymore. After all that is what this thread is about.

There are, according to him, those who talk smack and actually go out and drag race their MINI and those just type smack onto a computer screen without any actual real-world experience of dragging in their MINI.

I owned and built the car, but didn't drive it. Looks like I know how to get the most out of my car even if it means I don't get to do the excting part of driving it down the track. Unlike most people, I am able to do whats best for the car and let someone else wheel it. Now before you flame me for that I want to let you know I was only .2 off the best time that car has so I can drive too. I am just not always the best.

I turned every single bolt on my car!!!

Do not make the CLASSIC RICER mistake of constantly bringing up well if i had this or did this... its okay to bring it up sometimes... we all could have done something better... and lord knows we always have more parts to buy... just be happy that you ran what you ran...
