i stand corrected

coper s 163bhp
works 218bhp
schnizter 363bhp

from top gear site
Unlike the performance. Schnitzer has adjusted the supercharger, modified the engine management and fitted its own twin exhaust to give the car 200bhp over the standard's 163bhp,

363bhp for £20k, nahh, somethings mixed up there dude. For Schnizter isn't a cheap make, plus thats a lot of power.

Sure it wasn't like £200,000

nahhh, i doubt u'd see change of £30k at least!!

In fact, while the car shown here is one of only 250 complete conversions Schnitzer is bringing into the country, it's offering different stages individually. This means you can take your Cooper S (and not a One or Cooper) and ask for the engine upgrade (at £3,480), or the styling pack (an extra £2,440) or the handling pack (for £1,655), meaning you can choose what bits you want and ignore the bits you don't, while all conversions carry a BMW approved warranty. So I'd stick with the basic engine upgrade and keep the discreet style of the standard Cooper S. However, if you want the full monty then one of the 250 fully built examples will set you back a cool £22,950 and while it makes the most of an already excellent package, it's still quite expensive, especially when you consider the Ford Focus RS is £20,100.

Thats gotta be BS. The standard 1.4 16v that rover puts in the MG ZR comes with 103 Brake, so i dont think they'd bother with the effort of a turbo when it only adds 12 brake

I understand that, but the 210bhp is £17k.

363bhp is a BIG number in a 1.6, i really can't see it being just over £20k!!

If it is though, then im well interested!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) Its a "one-off" conversion of a car, not a limited number production car
2) Its a BMW, not a ford
3) It has 363 brake horse power.

I fail to see why its expensive

I think all the new 'Metros' are built in India, so they'll be kack and fall apart as soon as you drive them out of the showroom. Possibly.

yes but is more than likely lighter, with a closer box and peaks at a higher RPM, not all about figures

Your constant reference to cocks indicates you've got some some serious problems there matey. Either that or you're aged 17 and a half.
