BuckeyeMCS, check out the MINI Cooper drag car downstairs. If I remember it has a horse power to weight of 1 to 6.1. It is a striped Cooper with NOS, header, solid engine mounts, cable operated throttle body and probably other mods not visable. The info board said it's making 250Hp. I now wish I had written it all down but didn't.

Another great auto show. Nothing really wowed me this year or last but I did notice a general increase in high quality cars from each automaker. Everyone has at least one vehicle to check out or consider buying.

The Scion tC is a great deal for the price. Not bad looking either. Toyota really has a lot of money to spend on this project it seems.

Of course you cannot miss the MINI display

I did see it. I got a pic and that was about it. Huge front tires.
