Pretty fast, but I still like the new ones a lot better.

Mini's.. hehe.. thats a serious little "old school" mini.
The new ones are fun little cars, but slow as hell. Turns on a dime, revs to 7k though. Dropping the clutch at 6k is fun.. You have to rev the car to have fun. Make a nice play around/backup car.

Re: z06 vs. mini? (needhlp)
my dad has a 03 mini
and yes it turns like crazy, stops well, but out acelerate a Z??? Never. That one has a 285RWHP VTEC, good motors as I had an Itegra GSR years ago (before the Fast and Furious...) but not in Z teritory, period. I am sure there is someone who collects these that would love it, but the crwod that likes the VTEC would not go for an old school Mini. My $.02...

I run autocross and those little mini's look like slot car's, even novice drivers are turning in great times.

Notice there are no bids on the car, and his time is almost up.
I think that says it all.....

Re: z06 vs. mini? (Ryan Bell)
assuming it could hook up its got a much better power.weight ratio than a z, the aerodynamics look pretty crappy though.
