SLOW

Was Behind a GTi (200bhp) tonight and tbh i expected the GP to be alot quicker than it was, i could have over taken him if i really wanted to but i'd have to live on 7000rpm's. Its not the first time either, tbh since the first day i got it i didnt think it was much quicker than my last MCS.

I know the MINI's arent about speed but handling and character, but i expected abit more from the GP. I love everything else about it from the styling to the noise to the exclusivness. I dont drive too fast mainly because of safety and mobile speed cameras but i enjoy the odd blast.

I'm just wondering if anybody else feels like this or i'm just going through a "I want a Porsche GT3RS moment"

I never thought i 'd say this but i'm wishing JCG would manufacturer some sort of BHP improvement for the GP.
