Has anyone yet figured out why miniusa.com advertises a 0-60 time of 6.9 for the MCS while us Canadians supposedly do it in 7.4? I doubt that one has a better ECU program than the other and I know for sure that mine will do under 7.4 cuz we timed it unofficially at 7.0. My dealer seems to know nothing of this or power upgrades...any ideas?

Eh?

Perhaps the advertised Canadian time is 0-100km/h which requires an additional shift? Half a second is quite a large disparity...

 

I guess you're right. That would make it 0-62 which mabye would require an extra shift.

Its the monkey. I think the monkey is in Canada... Is this the problem? Where in Canada are you talking about?

 

I'm in Toronto but its advertised on mini.ca...so I guess everywhere.

And what monkey???

 

I just assumed it was the exchange rate, but if that were the case it would take you 10.2!!

What friggen monkey? If there's any monkey around, it's in the States!

And in answer to the question, yes it's usually 0-100km/h, which is a tad more than 60mph. I've been hitting around the 6.8-6.9secs mark on the 0-60mph time.
GO CANADA, GO!.......eh
Cheers,
