Re: Mini Cooper Works vs. 350z

Car and Driver did a shoot out between a bunch of tuners. The mini lagged in everything axcept hot lapping willow springs. It creamed most every car there including V-8's.

Mini in a straight line is not fast high 14's in the 1/4 mile - 350Z low 14's high 13's.

In Autocross the SCCA had deemed the JCW in the same class a Vettes and Vipers in ASP. Which is a prepared class which means the Vipers and Vettes are modded too.

If I find an online copy of the article I will post a link to the shootout. I was amazed the Mini did so well on the road course.
