Help! Can't find this!
 
Hey guys, Im looking for a video. It is of a Mini by itself on a highway at night.

It makes a couple of extremely fast passes and its exhaust is really loud.
Its amazing how quick it is. I dont think the video tapers speak english in it.

My mustang friend is showing me these stang vids and I would like to show him up. Sooo if you have this vid or any other videos that show ridiculous new Minis it would be nice! :nod:

You can't ask the front wheels to put down that kind of power, steer the car, and provide more than 75% of the braking. There just isn't enough grip.

Not all at the same time, but if you understand the friction circle it's not a problem at all. Just takes judicious use of the throttle. Like the dude in the video says it's not an on off switch.

See http://www.bentleypublishers.com/gal...&galleryId=831 to learn about the friction circle.
