Default Type R powered mini!

My buddy shot me a link to this site today. he plans on building one of his own.. these things are pretty nuts.. 220whp, 0-60 in 5sec, 0-100 in 11.9, quarter in 12.7. i think its a pretty cool concept and i wouldnt mind building one myself. id go forced induction on that mofo tho!

pretty cool but I think there are better cars for the money. Then again you'd prolly be the only person on the block with one.

That would be sweet. I bet it would be hard to build one yourself.

I bet it would be about as practical as that LS1 powered FD. Sure it's got a hell of a power to weight, but it's just not a very good drivers car.
