That depends.

What kind of shape is it in? 650hp has a tendency to wear out parts, no?

I would say, keep it if it's in good conditon and just buy the JCW in addition. I'd hate to see you get rid of that ZX - that was one great car!

On the other hand, I'd hate to see you pass up a chance to own and drive a great MINI...

Oh, crap, I have no idea. Nevermind.

sounds like you're really into speed. you'll never get anything close to the power you now have with a MCS, unless you intend to mount a Titan rocket engine to it (just kidding, of course). The stock MCS needs a few more horses, but 650?!Anyway, IMHO, the MC is more of a classic automobile than a platform to build a steroid pumped testosterone laden speed monster... maybe a minority opinion, but you asked.
