Oh really ? How does your Mini Cooper feel running at 150 MPH ?
The Mini Cooper S is a neat little boxy, sporty
front wheel drive economy car.
It is pointless to compare it to a
rear wheel drive, two seat, ultra slick true sports car like a Crossfire.
I've tried to learn to like sporty front wheel drive cars but I just can't. It's just not a rewarding true driver's car when you have to deal with torque steer, terminal understeer, front heavy weight distribution and having to use a car's brakes to get it to rotate around tight corners. Yea, I know, little front drivers can be plenty quick around tight auto-X tracks but, I'm sorry, they look so f-ing STUPID while they are doing it cornering on three wheels, the inside rear wheel up in the air like a dog taking a whiz...
Apples to Oranges...might as well compare your Mini to a Jap superbike that runs eleven second quarter mile times...
Slim
