Default mini cooper update

Ok so earlier i told you about this guy i know with a 2004 mini cooper john works edition with 215 hp.

ok so now this guy is tellng me he tops out that thing at 170 mph top speed, and that get this with 215 hp he runs a 10.9 1/4. WTF, sorry people like this just **** me off. then he is like that what the mini forums say, and i was like you dont have the horse power numbers to justifyA 10.9. unless your sittin on a completly gutted car

ok i think he is messing with me, i hope anyways. now he says he raced a 2000 vette and beat him off the line and won by 1 foot. rememeber this guy has a stock 2004 mini cooper john works edition with 215 hp.

One of my best friends has a worked Mini-S and he would be the first one to tell you that your friend is full of crap. I am going to email him your post just so he can get a good laugh!

Full exhaust, alum flywheel, smaller pulley, intake, tune. More than a JW Cooper S (he's laid a few beatings on them). He'll be the first one to tell you that he'd get smoked by an LS1 Vette and the car won't do 170. It's a cool little car though that handles like a go cart.

mini-S are sick little handling cars with motors that do make some nice power numbers with some work... but 10.9 seems way too fast unless the thing is like 450hp....

10.9 in the 8th.[8D] Maybe when he topped it out he was looking at the kph instead of mph.
