Actually, they mean to say; "As far as we know, it's the worlds quickest MINI down the 1/4 mile."

That's right guys, that's what matters at a drag strip. When will FTR ever learn?

Has any one else noticed that on the cover of MC2 FBT's MINI has two different head lights? One is an 04 or earlier and one is an 05 or later?

Actually, I think the driver's side headlight has been modified as a fresh air intake/ram for the turbo system... don't quote me on that, but that's the first thing I thought of...

Actually the turbo is located "stage right" while that opening is "stage left." It does let air in either way.

I figured they used the two styles of MINI headlights to make the car emulate the 2 variations of MINI currenlty out there.
