I'm not advocating street racing our MINIs here, really , but This site has a great list of 0-60 times for many cars, some of which you may have a lot of trouble stomping, such as a 2002 Volkswagen GTI 1.8T, and others that you should be able to stomp with no problem, such as a 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R.

Of course this is all assuming that they know how to drive. And you know how well the kids drive the rice mobiles around here in FL!

That's for sure! I don't know about you, but sometimes I hunt for that fart-pipe sound just so I can pull up and embarrass them.

As for the link, you'll notice, as with any real or estimated test numbers, it does have it's problems, such as the Theoretical Top Speed of 130 mph for the Cooper S. We all know this is low.
