Off the line I would say slightly faster but would lose out top end. Loved the whistle of the supercharger too.

i raced one a few years ago around a lot of twisty roads in my Golf Gti and he couldnt pull away from me, i suspect on a straight road it would have been different mind, i got 3 pts for the priviledge as well

seems to me that all Mini owners are either girlie boys or girls who think theyre " it "

never EVER seen someone who looks " ordinary" driving one
