True, but reading about that Cooper S Evo magazine are running it seems to have a lot more power than even a standard JCW specced car.

Seems odd to say it has never been chipped, I think I'd be in shock if my 172BHP car was actually putting out closer to 210BHP, then again they did say that was achieved on a cold engine

I wonder if the JCW mods to the engine have similar strange effects with the power increase it makes?
