dude, if your not gonna smack him him, why even play? I almost feel bad for him next time he finds a Cobra and thinks he can run.
Run in with a Mini Cooper S

70ish? Unless you were racing on an interstate UP to 70, but not past 70, then you were already breaking every posted speed limit in the country. Getting a ticket would have been unavoidable at that point:shrug:, you should have just smoked him.........:thumbsup:. That's on top of the fact that you still could have been stopped for drag racing, not just speeding.....If you're going to play, you might as well go all the way.
....:bored:.....I hope you just kill yourself when driving under the influence, and not others. Have some respect for other people in this world! And by the way the new Mini Cooper S is a turbo car (older ones were supercharged).
............yes, much wiser..........he races when driving under the influence, he knows what he's talking about.

Well this Mini was different. Unlike any I've ever seen before. For example, the Mini Cooper S at the following URL is NOT what I raced.
http://www.miniusa.com/#/learn/FACTS_FEATURES_SPECS/Top_Features-m
This Mini had Black rims, and Calipers with a Wing out back. Not too sure what else was done. I know that anyone can put on aftermarket calipers, and rims as well as a wing.
Not to mention he had a dual exhaust system similar to that of a Saleen Mustang (1999 - 2004).
i see tons of Mini Cooper S' Around here .. some swooped up some not.. but the ones i see are usually pimped up for track since they usually run at Laguna Seca. But still i never have gotten pulled by one or had my pull stopped by one. So this little thing had to have something unusual under the hood. I would assume a turbo.
and all Mini S' haver have the center rear exhaust.. thats how you usually can tell it is an S. Also they have thousands of factory replacement performance/look parts for these things.. from side mirrors to roof decals so black wheels does not say much.

shoulda beat up on a lil mini cooper
Where are you located? I'm curious because the shop that built my old M3 had a Nasty built motor Mini Cooper S...all blacked out. I took it out for a spin around the block, made very nice power for a car that size. It would roast em through the gears!

and sometimes its just good to look at the other car, and shake your head and laugh.
Right before punching it and making an example of them, lol. They gotta learn somewhere not to **** around where they shouldnt. The little 4 bangers, and other "no chance" cars are fun, and deserve to have their asses torn off for having the balls to try, they seem to be the only ones that will try aside from Vettes since we all know the F-Body guys tuck tail as soon as they see the snake on the side.
Guy I work with has a cooper S. He's built the motor to handle 25+psi from a 30mm (or maybe a 28mm) turbo. He's put a ton of money and time into it. Tuning the thing is apparently a big problem from what he says the computers are a tough nut to crack. I tried to convince him to take it to the track and get a baseline on it before he built the motor. I'm thinking with the low low weight (2500ish I think he said) and the 300+whp that he could run low twelves. I guess the point is not all mini's are slow.
Oh, no; let me be clear, I stopped his pull (he did not pull on me) and started to reel him in before I let out of it. I wasn't going to take any chances above 100MPH (as bad as it was). To make it a clear win, we would've gone all out at a ridiculous speed. Not me, :nonono:
Your talking about a run in with a mini cooper. That's like me bragging I ran over a cockroach with an F-650.
Double post ownt me.:bored:
No, but they are all wrong wheel drive. :beer:
lol, we'll see! Maybe we can get it on tape. No worries, its all fun.
I won't go balls out thats for sure!
Friend just beat one by a few cars in his Cummins with 3 of us in the car. About 2 trucks. What do they run for times?
Mid 15's bone stock. Really impressive LOL!
Hmm, not bad for my friends truck then. I'm thinking he'll be in the high 13s once he gets his injectors and is able to run 60 lbs.
:beer:have fun
14.9@94 mph bone stock
oke:A full second faster than Ford Racer's GT
Edit that was with a CAI. They should be running around 15.2 or so
