Parting with my Suped Up R56

Some of you know I have what is probably the fastest Mini Cooper that is street/Carb legal this side of the Mississippi.

Well I'm selling it.

I love this car, but I'm funding my startup, and I need money more than I need a fast car.

I thought I would share the post, mostly because I'd much rather someone from NAM bought the car and would love it, than selling it to a random kid who just wanted a rice rocket they could destroy. (I know it isn't a Ricer, but you know what I mean)

I remember when you added the turbo. Nice to see it's still running and you haven't blown it up. Too many of us drive their toys into the ground.

I will however question your "fastest Mini Cooper that is street/Carb legal this side of the Mississippi" claim --- maybe "ONE of the fastest"? Ziptie also did my last tune. It's about 10WHP less than my 4-year old Jeff Perrin dyno tune, so I don't use it. My Feb 2015 dyno run shows 312WHP and 321 torque --- has a few more add-ons than 4 years ago. Not a lot better than your Ziptie run, but it is more. I don't claim to be the fastest or have the most power --- there's always someone out there with more, but not many!

Anyhow, best of luck selling your pride and joy. Your performance description is right on!

The price is right but, that is not the car for me.
