sounds like it would blow your GP out of the water !!

i had a 02 cooper it would reach 68 in2nd gear,then i had a 04 cooper s,and that did 68 also,the cooper had 16" wheels,and the cooper s had 17" ,the gp will reach 69mph in 2nd with 18" wheels,so the guy on this forum with a mini one that does 80mph in 2nd must have had the gear ratio changed or maybe he got 24" inch wheels fitted,and it does 80mph in 2nd gear taking about 16 seconds according to my calculations.
none of my minis had propellers fitted so i dont know what they are like in water,but will try it one day.
