Well should be anyway. Had a blast from the lights against a later model 106 rallye and down onto the motorway. Seemed pretty even until about 4500rpm where the Bluefin started to take more of an effect and I pulled away. He had a few mods just an exhaust and induction kit though or so it seemed from the outside. Was lowered and had some lightweight alloys on too.
Pretty pleased with the new found performance as MINI quote 10.9 to 60 for a standard One. If I was to guess I would say somewhere between 8 and 8.5 now. Want more speed though
