I was wondering who makes the best kits for the new mini? I mean as in power and such. I saw a mini yesterday and I just fell in love with it even though my friend already has one. Anyways yeah so who has the most horsepower? I already chose another car, evo, but i'm just wondering how the mini guys are doing in terms of power, reliability, stability, and price. thanks!

they make many upgrade parts for all mini´s, including style, performance, etc. some impressive numbers like the BBR with 275 HP.

Cheers.

well just for now... you'll have to wait a few months to decide.

how about a spare Mini?

A MINI will never be an EVO, though to me that isn't a bad thing...
With only two wheels doing the driving, you aren't going to see the ridiculous HP numbers on a MINI you'll see on a heavily-modded EVO (or Subaru, whatever). That really isn't what it's about.
You're really going to get a different driving experience between the two cars.
I would suggest you find someone with a modded Cooper and go for a spin. It won't have the raw grip of a 4WD car, but it will be great fun...
There are some really good reasons why EVO (the magazine) gives the Cooper S such high ratings.
