OK I know this is the completely wrong forum for this post, but I couldnt resist. Heres my new toy:

 

lucky, a friend has a supercharged one that kicks ass, what features did you get?

 

It's a 2005 Mini Cooper S with 1.6L L4 SOHC Supercharged engine. It's got a Getrag tranny which lets you fly through each gear faster then you can shift. I wanted to get the John Cooper Works tuning kit (buttload more hp/tq), but it wasn't available on the '05 model yet. Its got Xenon headlights, foglights, leather interior, dual pane panoramic sunroof, and a whole list of other small things. Lemme tell you this car is fun as hell to drive.

 

Thats awesome, what kinda power does it put out?

 

Wrong forum, but nice buy.

 

It's got 168 hp, 163 lb/ft torque, 0-60 in 7.0 secs, 1/4 mi. in 15.4 sec @ 91.7 mph.
Once the John Cooper Works tuning kit comes out for it, I'm hopefully gona buy it, and then it'll have around 210 hp.

 

my bro test drove one.. said the S is really fast. its the whole power:weight ratio in effect there.. and he's a 230lb guy

nice car btw. i just saw an ad for the new convertables there comin out with

 

Yeah the convertibles are nice, but only when the top is down. I think theyre kinda ugly with the top up. They also weigh 220 pounds more then the hardtop, and they only have 163 hp.

 

I love those cars. The blower is so loud and they are real quick in the corners. I kept getting rolled at my last de by one. Congrats. :thumbup:

 

nice buy, i wish i had money to buy a new car, cooper s is a good choice i've always like that car, handling on it must be real good
