What's faster then a Mini?
 
On paper all things being stock (and no special editions or exotics) what cars are faster or slower in a drag race then a Mini? (who can rank the minis? shouldn't be hard)

Disclaimer - I do not support street racing in any form

So I'm a sane non aggressive driver except I hate tailgaters and guys who try to jump ahead when roads merge. :mad:
This newer legacy is really pushing me. We come to the light. I take the straight lane he takes the left-turn/straight lane the merges with my lane about a block after the light.
:no: Do NOT be stupid like me :no:
I decide to gun it so he's stuck behind me after the light. He read my mind. we both floor it and the legacy beats me. :cry: I don't think I've ever really pushed the old MCS like that on the street before.
No harm no foul. Nothing bad happened but in hindsight I'm an idiot .

So out of curiosity what is faster then my 06 MCS the legacy slightly faster. I'm really interested in the close competitors.
For example could a MCS out run a v6 mustang in a straight line?

Also Encourage everyone to berate me for being stupid enough to do this. Shenanigans like this are unacceptable outside a closed track.

Wait, you're seriously asking what's faster than a MINI? You realize that, "0-60" wise, a MINI isn't really /that/ fast right?

In fact, a Subary Legacy 2.5 is quite fast for its apparent "slow car" demeanor.

I gave up an Altima SE-R for a MINI. 0-60mph, I went to slower. But fun-to-drive... that's where it's at. Handling.

So don't really try to take people "off the line" with a MINI; besides, it's not the spirit of MINI I think.

Indeed.
