A unmodified Mini Cooper S makes 168hp and 162-ft-lbs of torque.
It weighs about 2700 lbs so it has a hp to weight ratio of :
16.1 lbs per hp and 16.5 lbs per torque.
The Stock GT makes 265hp and 302 ft-lbs of torque.
It weighs about 3300 lbs so it has a hp to weight ratio of :
12.5 lbs per hp and 10.9 lbs per torque.
The Mini Cooper S is supercharged, and just like the 03/04 Cobra's, it can have the blower pulley swapped and a couple of other mods and easily make 200~220hp to the wheels.
which means that a Mini Cooper S can have the power to weight ratio of
13.5~11.5 to 1 and the gearing is also better than what's on the mustang. So yes, a stock 03 GT can get it's nut's kicked by a Mini Cooper S.

There will ALWAYS be someone faster than you, unless you're John Force of course.
