excellent! Sure there isn't just a little bit of tweaking to get a few more ponies to break 600?

Go for the next American Touge. The previous blue mini that was there was rather disappointing...

You show them what is a REAL mini!

ok ok... now you've earned your cookie. I can't wait to hear the whole story, but I'm sure you can't really say anything about it until the official press release comes out. Either way if you leave I'm taking your car... and emily... don't tell emily :P

Nicely done... I wonder what the torque levels were? Must have been off the charts!! Wheel spinning torque-itude!


It must be impossible to drive that car on the street!!

Tuls,

I hope you've tuned the warp coils to handle the torque increase from the new dilithium crystals, otherwise you may end up in a parallel universe. Call me if you need help with that.

Seriously tho, that is awesome, dooooood!!

Why not just buy a different car if you want 600 WHP Probably cheaper and you could probably actually get traction

It's not about the destination.

It's about the journey to the destination.

It is also about looking for the limits of the car. Taking the car as far as it can, then finding the safe medium.

From what I understand, Tüls is looking to forward the tuning of the MINI. By taking it to the extremes it shows what the far reaching capabilities are.
It also exposes the vulnerabilities in the system during the buildup process. This IMO is what helps everyone, not just the one car.
