Didn't I order a 170HP MCS???

 

OK, take a deep breath and repeat after me...

"Specifications subject to change without notice."
"Specifications subject to change without notice."
"Specifications subject to change without notice."
"Specifications subject to change without notice."
"Specifications subject to change without notice."

 

you can easily get the 2HP back with a "type R" sticker!

 

come on Andy..........SHOW ME THE NUMBERS

 

Hey NFO, when are you going to be back in MINI Land?:smile:

 

what 168?? this is stupid. Sory i'm really hungry and also they should not lower the horsepower after saying 170!!! just get i/h/e and you'll have your more then 2 back.

 

170HP X
------ = --------
168HP $20,449


170X = 3435432

168HP MCS = $20,208




Think they will buy that. Its simple math.

 

I think the 170hp figure for the MCS has been misquoted time and time again. It appears to be that the 168hp rating for the '05 MCS IS the real number. I saw a couple of old posts in MINI2.com citing the 168hp figure from BMW.

Why people are so hung up on this?

 

Could be worse..like one company claiming 250 hp and had to revise their figures to 238 hp.

 

Sounds like the Mazda RX8! However, Mazda did offer to buy back cars from those owners that weren't happy about the hp reduction. Those who kept their cars got something to make amends for the misrepresentation.

So, if MINI misrepresented the hp ratings, will they make amends?

 

When did we turn into spec racers?

 

If you look on the Canadian MINI site - it states 170HP. Looks like us moron-Americans get shafted with the crappier ECU once again (think E36 //M3) Thankfully, the delta this time is basically unnoticable, versus the E36 //M3 of 320HP vs. 240HP for the USA, eek!

 

can't tell if you guys are serious or not. I hope your not seriously upset over 2hp

 

Hmmmm..did they actually state 170 hp anywhere in the U.S.? Nissan also was under fire from owners about the hp in the maximas and altimas. I don't know if that was ever settled. Oh, and Ford had to work on their 99 Cobras because of some horsepower differences.

So if the Mini is short they wouldn't be the first or the last to overstate the hp.
