7.0 0-60 ish. Its not sh1t slow, its just not amazingly fast. What do you want from a bog standard low model 1.6 mini (with SC).

210bhp
275bhp
363bhp Schnizer you say JR Now thats mental!!!!!!



standard cooperS takes just under 8s to 60 and takes 22s to 100mph.

modified ones like the works are around 17-18s to 100mph

Thats not what it said on Top Gear the other week? Higher boost, same SC, different engine managment gives it that extra 50bhp odd.

Yeah they are co-made with its indentical sibling, the Tata Indica, in India. Trust me, these things are tanks and wont fall apart. I seen Tata's barrel roll, carrying 15 people, crashing into cows, tankers etc, and they just drive-off.

I'm pretty sure that Top Gear said the Cooper S Works ran just under 200bhp (196bhp if I remember)

yeah just under 200. The digi-tech was around 230, as was the other one, i cannot remember. However the BSB conversion Cooper-S had new charger which pushed it way over 300bhp.

THere were 4 Minis on top gear.

Factory one with just under 200bhp
2 Aftermarket ones (Hartarg etc), one running 210bhp, the other running 215bhp

Overall, performance was the same, and although the cooper S was the most expensive, you get all the warrenty etc where-as the other two were aftermarket.

Then the last one had 275bhp.

Then there is this one thats supposed to have 363bhp. I had a serious think about this. 363bhp for £22k, im still sure thats wrong? What other car ever has that much power fro that kind of price brand new????????

Dont forget, its still only a 1.6 SC, not a 2.6 Twin turbo, or a 3.0 twin turbo where that kinda power is easy to get.

Anyone got any more information on it?
