maybe because the 05 has shorter gears than the older cars?

Yeah here in miami theres a few highways where you can really test the car... provided theres no one in the way of course...

with the minis drag coefficient and amount of power... what is the equation i need to use to find how much horsepower i would need to hit the 200 mph mark? compared to something like a new M5 or something with a more "slippery" figure (and more power)... thanks guys

Based on a quick look at the equations it looks basically correct to me. I'm not at all certain that the frontal area of a MINI is 2 square meters (there's a measurement I'd like to see done!) and I think combining the rolling resistance and drivetrain losses is a bit coarse but again, the basic math is accurate.
