We haven't even reviewed them yet . . . pretty damn stupid. After, we straighten this out I will have to find a place to host them . . . probably on U-tube. I'll keep you posted.

I am convinced that the top speed issue is more than just Aero because . . . if a stock SSB Mini can do 130 . . . we should be able to do more.

. . . a work in progress.

The stock wheel on the Cooper S is a 16" X-lite wheel. The sport package comes with 17" wheels. The 16" tires we run in SSB are Hoosier 205/45-16 with a diameter of 22.8" The 17" 225/40-17 have a dia of 23.8". I was 2 secs slower on 17" rubber.

Not a bad idea on their part to keep things equal. But I think they should have went with 16in at least.

Hoosier doesn't make a 16" endurance compound race tire in the sizes we need. . . only 15's and 17's.

all photos to which i posted the link are taken by Minvader. Onasled: that seems to be the fav on sunshine minis as well. so far i have found out that her name is Sophia and she is from Columbia. i have tried to bribe the source of that information for an intro, with no luck at this point. i offered to point him by at the next track day, even though the use of my e-brake might be required! i'll up my offer and keep you posted.
