try before u buy

try to find someone who has the JCWorks pkg. I have heard the cooper is quick as S at lower speed (to 40 or so). It is geared lower so acceleration is better at lower speeds. It gets better economy as compression is higher, so it is more efficient. It probably is a little more responsive than the supercharged S. You might find it is a good fit for you. Work the figures, though. If you can sell hi and buy low, the S is a stronger car. - forged crank and rods, oil sprayers under pistons, getrag trans, sport suspension, etc.
