C63 vs J Cooper Werks Mini S

This was almost a giant killer story. So I'm at a freeway on ramp signal light with a JC werks mini S next to me. The thing is loud, like no exhaust on it. I'm thinkin I'll whack him from the dig cuz he won't want to fry his clutch, he'll hang with me for a bit in the mids than I'll walk him. We both punch it and I get him from the dig. But then he starts pulling on me. I'm thinking what's up with this. Nearing the century mark I'm pulling back by him. We both pull off a few exits down and I can't help but ask what's he done to it. Pops the rear hatch, big tank of NOS, underneath straight pipes, under the hood. completely reworked turbo, intake and head. You never know what you're going to run into on the street.

Don't worry buddy, his engine has at least a dozen more pulls of that type on it. Your engine easily has thousands more.

lol, whatever makes you feel better. If that thing was built to hang with you, it was probably built to hang with you more than once.
But if its any consolation, its still a mini cooper at the end of the day.

I love the new Mini's but gotta agree w/fact it's on borrowed time w/those mods. A friend owned 1 every imaginable mod even built motor, thing was bananas in turns or being flat stupid on frwy.. seriously reminded me of movie Tron in handling ability.

Though it blew it's bags more than once, not airbags lol
