I am an ex 2001 Vortech S/C GT owner and my girlfriend recently bought (don't laugh) a 2005 Mini Cooper S. I think this is a cute car for a chick and I never thought I would ever want to drive it but let me tell you how much it surprised me after I took it for a spin.
The strait line acceleration is nothing to write home about (0-60 in 6.9sec) but I’ve taken corners in her MCS faster than I would ever dream possible in my S/C Stang.
I was looking at buying a low mileage 04 Cobra but I don’t think I can live with the handling. I know it has IRS and that is much better than the GT but I am sure it could use some improvement. What is required to improve handling drastically?
