...........now I know it sounds strange but when Luca said the other day he was getting tired off his Dad blowing his doors off in his M5 and he was considering part ex the Mini for an Audi S3, I've been obsessed with thinking how we can stop him leaving the Mini community.
At last years BMW show an M5 won the 6 cyl class with an 12.82 @ 113, so we know for a heavy family car there very quick.
So really if you're only using one power adder, at this moment in time you only have one choice and thats a turbo.
If you used two power adders then you could get your own back with the M45 and a 50 shot of nitrous with the right components in the engine.
Surely at any track the M5 is on a looser with a Mini
So with the right selection off parts could Luca keep the Mini and let his Dad see his tailpipes on the way home?
Or is the Cooper S just a stepping stone for a faster vehicle which is in the market place.
