>>I agree but by the same token I would like to have a V6 in the MINI. Look the problem here is that if you increase the engine size in this car it will become something more than a MINI. If you want a V6 in a German hatchback, then get a VW GTI.

Instead of a 2.2 maybe somthing like a 1.8L...it won't add much weight but it would add a good amount of power. You could get about 130HP from it if it was NA like the integras. And a whole lot of power if it had force induction like the 1.8T VW's.

If the MINIs in the italian Job could speed around with all that gold I think youd be alright with a few machine gun pods and heat seeker missles.
