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.

hey Fabio
hmm so far I cant say this has happened to me, and I have had some good runs with it., though never to the limit so cant say for sure. Though at times I wonder if its even possible to hit 250 km/h with this car. i might actualy push to see that happen this week on the way up north.. then ill feel better. high revs dont trouble me. i use 98 ron and above only. i dropped the nasty runflats as well to higher grade tires.
