Hello,

There's been a few threads on MINI over time about 1/4 mile run times and also 0-60 times of different MINIs.

I thought it would be good if we could start to try and compile people's different experiences.

I'd like to know results of timed 0-60 and/or 1/4 mile runs, and I'm sure a lot of others would like to hear too.

But please no "stop watch" figures, only results using testing equipment such as a member of the G-Tech family (http://www.gtechpro.com/) or the Race Technology range (http://www.race-technology.com/WebPage2/Products/Products.html) or a drag strip (http://www.santapod.com/), or other verified/trusted measuring device!

It would also be nice if people could post the specs of their car, the tempurature (if known), what mods have been done, fuel levels etc, so we can try and get an idea of how things really compare to each other.

This isn't a competition, but just a place to compile some facts that others might find useful. No "that's BS" or "mines better than yours" type talk please!

This isn't a "banter" thread either, sorry to sound a bit blunt, but we can discuss this thread and methods etc. elsewhere!

Thank you!

Also, in addition to this thread for 0-60 and 1/4 mile times, Andy has his own page of 1/4 mile times he's been compiling at:

http://www.ross-tech.net/andy/mini/...uartermile.html (http://www.ross-tech.net/andy/mini/...uartermile.html)

That is for official drag strip times only, NOT those using other measuring/data capture tools.

I attended the 2003 Showdown at the Shakespeare County Raceway. This was my first visit to such an event, a complete novice but I had a few runs and eventually posted this with Traction Control OFF: (plus 3/4 tank of Petrol BP Superplus)

Reaction: 1.006
60ft 2.581
330ft 6.668
660ft 10.065 @71.77mph
990ft 12.919
1320ft 15.446 @ 92.59mph

Weather was hot 84F
Car details: 2003 Cooper 'S' Works, no.S422. 5,500miles No other mods.

I was contacted by IML337, an Aussie MINI2er, who ran a best time of 15.1 seconds in his Cooper S for the quarter mile at Sydney's Eastern Creek dragstrip today. I'll have to get him to post weather/fuel info etc. I can tell you his MCS has had NO engine modifications.

:cool:

Good to put this data all in one place. Using a gtechpro, here's what I posted on another thread: -



Mine is a standard cooper with not even a panel filter : We were two-up (maybe 150 kg combined), half a tank of regular unleaded fuel, 16" alloys with heavy runflat tyres: -

First run was 9.17s (wheelspin)
then 9.14s (wheelspin again)
less revs needed we thinks ...
9.28s (bogged down D'uh!)
so again with 4,500 revs but more slowly off the clutch: -
8.88s thats better
then again : 8.69s : the best time we were able to record.

During one of the later runs (but I'm not sure which) we also recorded a standing quarter mile time of 16.92s at 84.2mph.

Finally we logged the 60-0 braking performance. The ABS worked overtime and stopped us in 156 feet. I have no idea how this compares to factory or improved data, anybody? (dry road, maybe 15 degrees centigrade)

The lesson learned was to monitor, modify technique, improve.

...

8.69s from a std cooper is quite reasonable I think

1/4 mi______15.01@95.58
0-60mph_____7.139
0-80mph_____11.310
0-100mph_____16.958

Keep in mind that despite the cold temperature, loss of power at 6,000ft. is about 16-18%, 40 hp aprox.
My best friend brought here to Colorado his heavily modified Subaru WRX (dynoed at 431hp at the crank), and his best run was a dissapointing 13.6@102mph. (His best time is 12.7@109 at 2,000 ft.).

Using the very conservative Tripod altitude conversion calculator, (http://members.tripod.com/~MY5LTRLXCPE/altitude.html), my time at sea level indicates a more realistic 14.54@98.38mph.

Cheers :)

ups...the temperature was 40 F (around +4C)

Max (and others) can you put the details of the recording equipment and as many other details as possible (like specs and so on).

:)

Thank you.

Hartge MCS with no other mods (at that time), fully loaded with options & and a 16 stone driver and 28 oC! hehe , cannot comment on timing gear but i ran at elvington and they had all the top notch equipment , that all i can say so i imagine its very accurate , kept running consecutive 15.5s runs , oh , also 18" breyton wheels , absolutley gutted! I assure you this had nothing to do with the driver b4 we even go into that , i wasnt happy with the Hartge conversion for a while , this just confirms my dissapointment , may have something to do with the weight / temp but very very poor none the less , i shall be doing some testing in the track car soon so i shall report on that too.

Cheers,

:cool:

At Sydney's WSID (http://www.wsid.com.au) complex, my fully optioned and totally standard Cooper S did the following time:

60' 2.436
330' 6.560
660' 9.872 - 74.13mph
1000' 12.719
ET 15.141 - 92.34mph

Ambient temp was about 15-18 degrees C I think.

Oh, by the way, the car has 17x7" BBS RK rims and Yokohama AVS ES100 tyres, instead of 17" s-spokes and runflats.

*edit* Fuel was standard 98RON pump fuel, altitude was about 60m(?) and date was May 22 2004 :)

03 MCS Tested with G-Tech Pro. Full interior 15% pully and Supertrapp exhaust. temp according to reading off tach. "edit" this is times i posted when i did the before and after tests. which were conduct at an old airport. upon which i gave no time for Heat soak to happen.

Mugami,

Are u running at sea-level? What was your trap speed for those runs?

I've posted the times before.. as i find where i did.. most likly in the "Did a little Drag racing " thread for the two strips... the G-Tech time are in the "Before and after mods" thread i did some time ago. I'll copy those time and edit them to my post.

the strip is not at Sea lvl and i dont know the ALT for the Strip its self. i'll go the VMP's (Virginia Motorsports Park) website and see if its posted there.

Here's an interesting comparison. Last July, I ran a 14.745 @ 93.61 with my 15% pulley. Here it is plotted with the 14.783 @ 93.73 that I ran last night with the 19%.

hi guys i attended the bmc showdown at the weekend I have a one d with tunit fitted and k&n induction kit

best time for the weekend was:
Reaction: 0.379
60ft 2.531
330ft 7.337
660ft 11.453 @59.88mph

Done some fairly heavy "cleaning" of this thread. Sorry folks, but please chat elsewhere in this forum, and try to keep this thread "clean" with numbers only.

hi guys,

I used my mates gadget (forgoten the name of it now!) and out of 2 runs the best time i got was 8.8 seconds! not bad for a mini One with 18s. I was using optimax fuel and i had toyo proxes on. Need to borrow the gadget of my friend again and do some more runs including quarter mile. ill keep u posted!

All my mods are listed below.

17.6 was the fastest I got at the strip, with a magnaflow exhaust, street tires and just 145 lbs of me.
I know i can do better than that

interesting about the trap speed being comparatively low, as your 0-60ft time isn't exactly under the 2 second mark... Not something to do with having 15" rims? Most cars here do it on 16" or 17"...

Looking at the numbers I would have thought it would have been more like 97mph? :confused:

Well, here is my new times from last night:

r/t: .789
60': 2.279
330: 6.198
1/8: 9.427
mph: 76.40
1000: 12.200
1/4: 14.554
mph: 95.46


temp was 80 degrees F. and very humid. I can't wait for 50 degree nights!

Ambient Temp: 72F~
Elevation: 4,600 ft~
Weight: 2,850~

60ft 2.516
330ft 6.810
660ft 10.363
990ft 13.346
1/4 mile 16.020 @ 86.504

I didn't "launch" the car at the start, there was also a 20-25 mph crosswind/headwind. The car ran 92 mph stock (months before: no wind, 65 F~), but the ET was much slower. I was able to get the mph just above 89.5 with different shift points, but the ET was lower... need to find a night when there is no breeze and cooler temps to get the true numbers.

Mods to the car are listed in sig.

I only managed 7, 7.41 and 7.52 sec at silverstone trax 2004 yesterday. Should be doing low 6 secs see mods below

bbr 220 +quick silver cat back exhaust (8bhp) + janspeed 4 branch manifold (12 bhp) + pipercross intake (7 bhp) >> although cos it was hot, intake (29 degrees centigrade) increased the loss of power due to high temps hence the decline in times.

I also rode the clutch through out 1st. :(

fuel >> 3/4 full
17" tyres
base box in boot.

Planning to do times this w/e at silverstone mini show with both standard and pipercross filter to get a true comparison.

PS also getting there before noon to catch the sub 20 deg temperatures.

I have had my MCS for about 2 months now. Since then I have fitted a catback quicksilver exhaust.

The 0-60 time i achieved with one other passenger and 1/4 fuel was 6.97sec.

I am awaiting a 25% reduction pulley and chip from Cool New in Romford which is being fitted next friday. They say it will add 40bhp (£972), so will have entered the 200bhp club!!! :D
I am not too sure what times i may get then, any ideas?

17" S alloys
temp 20 deg

.

I am awaiting a 25% reduction pulley

Your joking, right?

A 22%+ reduction has been shown impossible. If you are serious, show us.
