Wow, errogant little Z owners there are...I wonder the age of the MiniDooper guy, probably 17, mommie and daddie probably took the 35k out of his trust fund to buy him his Z.

We are down to 47%!

Wow... that's a lot of hate. Some people really get offended when someone says that the MINI might actually outhandle their "sports" car. I know the Z is a really good car, the attitude of some of the posters is awful.

Those folks are sad. Calling all Mini owners 'gay'. How insecure do you have to be to get to that point anyway?

And on the voting front, I think we are in a bit of a bind. It does not seem Mini is going to be able to win this one. We just slipped down to 47%, after over 1400 votes. Yesterday had a total of around 2,200 votes.

This should be made a sticky - at least temporarily till the face off is over to get max coverage.

And a cars.com employee confirmed that they are allowing 1 vote per IP.

Actually that would have to be cleared by Mark first.

They put a news item up on MotoringFile, that should help too.

Work is almost out, our older folks should be voting soon as they get out of work. All the 350Z college snobs have already exerted all their energy. I smell a comeback.

I can't believe the attitude some of those 350Z owners have on the forums. As if any of us bought our cars for 1/4 mile and 0-60 times. They act like we're driving a Camaro.

I love the different tones and language between the Z board and here. On here it's all encouragement to vote and "yay we can do it"

There it's all name calling and nut-flexing.

Even if based strickly on community... this further proves why I find the mini superior!

Keep on Voting!
