I see so many MOD for an (S) not so many for MINI Cooper
I do think MINI Cooper are as important as an (S) but why
Isn’t the company out there have more MOD for the MINI
Cooper. I think there are more MINI Cooper then (S) out
There.

I would like to see more MOD for MINI Cooper out there
That can boost the MINI Cooper to like 250 hp. There
Are more money to be made from a non (S) don’t you
Thank so?

Yes an (S) have 6 speed and a Super Charger but their
Number is low.

My girlfriend have a MINI Cooper and is very hard to
Find a good MOD for her to increase her MINI to like 250hp.

The closes is more like 155hp. Why is that?????

Here's a theory: most buyer who are interested in maximum performance bought the MCS. So it makes perfect sense that there are more mods for the MCS - MCS owners are more likely to buy such mods.

Make sense?

Cool, another MC vs. MCS thread....

The Cooper is pretty well put together as it is...this is still a fairly young aftermarket in any case. Some of the bigger BMW tuners, like Dinan will be coming out with packages later on. But most consider the MCS to be the "performance" car in the MINI lineup. That doesn't mean that Cooper owners don't want mods - but the initial push in the aftermarket was MCS.

As used Coopers enter the market , and the young tuner crowd starts experimenting with them, I suspect you'll see some real interesting stuff. Of course us Cooper owners want more power...may just take some time. 250HP is a bit much though...there is discussion as to whether the tranny could take it.
