I don't think the answer was no, the question was "low 13's or high 12's" - what do you mean? If you can explain a bit more what you mean then someone may be able to give you an answer as like hat, I ahve no idea what you are actually asking!!!

Try searching this forum, or contacting them directly via private message or email, that's the most likely way to get solid answers, try and ask those who've achieved what you're hoping to get to.

"Andy@Ross-Tech.Com" keeps an "Unofficial database" of Mini 1/4 mile times...

http://www.ross-tech.net/andy/mini/d...artermile.html

You'll see that running 13s is pretty difficult / expensive.

TBH, I wonder why any one would want to drag race a mini. For a start it's a front-wheel drive car, far from ideal for drag racing.

The reason people drive mini's is because they handle so well on the twisties - pointless to drag race them IMHO.

Agreed with S - if hiting low quarter mile times is what your after, you'd be better off achieving this with a different car.
