If this engine was in ours it be going high 12s at 106-7.

So you better dust off those simpson race shoes Isellem

I like to call it the real world dyno;

mph/weight=horsepower,

ET is how efficent you and your car connect the horsepower to the ground.

Very true, although being a good driver is a factor in the results.

ONLY FOR ET

this has been hashed out 1000 times... the MPH diff is very little compared to how a time can change

With all of that spare time from not actually posting a real response you should have plenty of time to "only run a 13.1 at 105.6"

Maybe if you two would start working together, you'd pull a 12.5 MINI out of your butts

cool... in case you haven't noticed... or can't read... i encourage you to break my record! I truely hope you do. That record has stood for well over 2 years! This community needs to move forward. I stopped manufacturing on MINIs because there was NO competition. I have given up on these cars. Again, I truly hope you beat my record seeing as I think you are the only one besides Paul Webster who can. If you do break my record I won't cry that you beat it. I will cry about selling that MINI. I never had a chance to properly tune it and get the 8k redine or put a clutch or an intercooler on it like I had originally intend. And I would absolutely love to destroy my old record... its just that there was no point at the time... no one was even close.

Good luck at the track. I hope you beat it... Otherwise you have been running your mouth and not being able to back it up.

Again, remember the rules... its pretty simple...

Weight reduction: no back seat
Supercharger: M45
Tires: True street tires no drag radials
Power adders: NONE no nitrious No turbos...

Hop off the nutswing and do something yourself.

You can try to shut me up if you would like. I encourage everyone to go out there and run the number.

Jan should definetly beable to shut me up with as much power that he has been making. Its all in good fun and competition.

Ohh don't worry, Im sure Paul will call me on my cell phone the moment he breaks my record. He has always called me in the past when he as come close.

I would prefer that Paul beats my record instead of you... but thats just because I like Pauls attitude when it comes to drag racing and Paul as a person
