Hello All,

I'm working on a car physics project and I need 1/4 mile data for the mini-cooper or mini-cooper S. If you have the following please email it to me. Note, I will not share this information with anyone else. I just need it for my car physics code.

1 - torque and rpm curve data as an image OR better yet as a data (text) file.
2 - the rpm redline
3 - the quarter mile time in seconds for the given car (so i can compare my code to real-world numbers)
4 - differential ratio
5 - the diameter of your entire wheel - rim and tire

thanks,

scot

Chandler,

Cool site! Thanks for the link. What's your preferred launch technique? What RPM? Slip or drop the clutch?

Thanks for the info!

Do you have a dyno sheet for your car (with torque and rpm curves)?
Also, what's the redline range (start and ending)
Finally, what's the max rpm

EXTRACT from your website..

Nice reaction times dude, but is the MINI really that bad with 60foot times?? I mean sheesh 2.4+++??

My heavy very inefficient times on my maxima did 2.25 60foot with really bad reaction times.. I guess the MINI really is not designed for OFF the line performance.

Were you suffering from major wheel spin?
