MINI went 163mph in one mile shootout...

Proof MINI's can go fast. At the May event of the Nevada Open Road Challenge, an MCS went 163mph. MINI's also took 1st and 3rd in the 115mph rally class. This is a great semi-annual event. I plan on taking my MCS to it next spring...See this link.

Holy wow, that car must have had a lot of improvements done with its engine. Aerodymic-wise too, because we all know that the MINI is a brick in the wind.

Any math wizards want to do the math for what it takes a MINI to go 163mph?
