Justacooper will get to 60 in 9 seconds flat.
The c230 with the 2.5 v6 will take 9.7 and the 3.0 will take 6.0. Obviously your sister has the 2.5.
The CST with the 2.8 does 0-60 in high nines as well, the 3.6 does it in 7.6 and the 5.7 does it in 4.7.
All that said you are in a cooper. Even in an S you are not going to be faster then much in a straight line. These cars about handling. If you want stoplight to stoplight glory get a mustang.

I was just using a generic straight line speed type of car to make my point. It gets to 60 in the low fives right? Not fast compared to alot of cars I agreed, but relative to the vehicles that I was talking about in my post it is fast. Haha, I suppose you would rather I say Corvette?

Mid 5's for the GT 0-60..actully gave my sons buddy a really good run in my JCW against his GT...he spun them a little off the line and had him out of the hole...it was funny looking at his face when he thought he would lose
He got be by 1/2 car length...not to shabby for our Mini...OH Yeah....you should have used the Covrvette...

The Mustang is a fast car, where it fails is its' 1964 suspension technology. That's why we buy MINIs.

Or a used GTO, New Challenger, WRX, Mazda3speed, and a bunch of other cars for straighline speed. Then go to the local road course track with your Cooper. I know when I went the Coopers go great guns in the corners, but I always looked at them in the rear view mirror on the straights in my goat.
On the last run I made sure to get near the head of the grid so I wouldn't have this trouble. The MazdaSpeed3 in front of me pulled away and wasn't seen again, the 330 behind me kept up for a lap so I let her by and lost her half a lap later. I only ever saw the M6 behind that at the end of the straight, so he was never in a position to overtake.

maybe but according to my speedometer 110 is top speed. Trust me, I've tried more than once. I can reach 110 in 5th gear. From what I understand if you upgrade you ECU it will remove the limiter on Amercan cars

I read this on the GIAC web site.
Great performance software for the Mini Cooper S (R) is now available from GIAC. Months of dyno testing at both GIAC and HelixMinisports have produced a software product that yields significantly higher HP and torque gains when compared to factory offerings. The factory Mini Cooper S (R) software was surgically remapped for pump fuel (91-93 octane [R+M/2] minimum) on vehicles fitted with a 15% reduction pulley. Knock activity and air/fuel at full load have been carefully monitored with our integral Motec A/F meter. The result is a crisper throttle response and a car that now pulls harder to a new rev limiter (increased by about 200 RPM) and increased speed limiter. Modified versions are in the works for the 17/19% reduction pulleys and race fuel (100+ octane) programming. As with nearly all new GIAC products, Mini Cooper S (R) software applications are Flashloader compatible (i.e. soldering is not required).
increase rev limiter and speed limiter.
