my friend has an 03 with all kinds of mods, and hes producing around 650 rwhp, more with nitrous...his car is fast...

nothign moded as extreme as that... but taken out a few bikes..... I will say though.... if you are looking to go against those kinda #S... get something else... power to wieght you can take more than you think with the mini.... but.. there is always a bigger fish... and FWD from a dig against RWD with out some serious skill... is just askin to loose....

Part of the problem is many don't know their limit.
I may be gutless but I will come home to the kids.

I think all of this has less to do with driving skill and more to do with financial limits...

But the gains eventually work downstream to the masses, so more power to you.

Two things:
1. Hows Jan's stroker set up coming along?
2. What will the cops say when they pull you over in your 400hp mini and ask you to pop your bonnet?

in the FREE part of the US they dont ask you to pop your bonnet.... then there's Kahleeforneeah

best part about what's going on now with the MINIs is you can make 300 hp and never know it's even been modified... what now? OH NO!!!!

Whats the point in popping your hood and no "post-it" notes to help explain al the craziness?? haha....
