VELOCITY Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Just bought this for the girlfriend, Mini Cooper S with the full John Cooper works pack including suspension, air induction, exhaust and front splitter Have to say this is one of the best handling cars i have driven, it corners like its on rails!! Ride is a bit harsh made even worse with run flat tyres. Goes like the clappers and really nice supercharger whine when giving it some beans! Hope she likes it as much as i do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VELOCITY Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 the 40 to 80 time is next to nothing, loads of torque for a small car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 MMMM but its not a jaguar though is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 My Mrs' friend had one of those. She let me take it out for a spin when she first got it. I really liked it. The handling was excellent and the supercharger was fun although I was rather disappointed with the outright power. I was expecting something rather faster but it (the charger) seemed to be only helping the lower end of the power band. Nice car for a bird though.

RedM Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Is this the car that makes popping noises whenever you take your foot off the gas? A neighbour has one, drives it like he stole it and at every junction no matter what spped he was doing it pops and cracks! Still not faster than a Supra though.
