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

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

My times..

I took My brand new 2005 MCS (with LSD) to New England Dragway last this past Friday (August 26th, 2005). The car only has about 1700 miles on it and the only mod is a Borla racing exhaust..

This was my first time to 1/4 mile a car so my reaction time sucked and i had a helluva time getting the wheels to grip... finally on the third run I took 10 psi out of the front tires (16" run-flats) and pulled almost a whole second quicker.. now it's time to Mod the hell out of this car.. I think with a better reaction and some better shifting I could have easily pulled a 15.39 or so...

Anyways, here's the numbers...

Run 1) Reaction time: 1.345 , 60 feet: 3.016 , 330 feet: 7.635, 1/8 mile: 11.173 (69.47Mph), 1000 feet: 14.179, ¼ mile: 16.682 (89.67Mph)First run, I pulled the e-brake before the staging area and did a burnout just for the hell of it.. would have been nice if the e-brake had been COMPLETELY OFF when I launched ..LOL :eek: :(

Run 2) Reaction time: 1.342, 60 feet: 3.060, 330 feet: 7.727, 1/8 mile: 11.263 (69.7Mph), 1000 feet: 14.262, ¼ mile: 16.770 (89.75Mph)
this time when I launched I was too anxious with the acclerator and had the car around 6k RPMS when I dumped the clutch... might as well have been trying to take off in the snow, had about that much traction.. :(

Run 3) Reaction time: 1.099, 60 feet: 2.532, 330 feet: 6.786, 1/8 mile: 10.214 (71.39Mph), 1000 feet: 13.154, ¼ mile: 15.660 (90.05Mph)
This last run was my best for the night... going into it I was predicting a 15.4 so I wasn't too far off... I think I could nail that number with some practice and perhaps better tires.. I have a 2002 MC with Toyo Proxy 4 tires that I almost swapped before we headed down to the track, but I ran out of time.. I think that was the biggest mistake I made.. next time..

all in all it was a good night, the weather was perfect (mid to high 70's) humdity was relatively low and the track was dry ... ideal conditions.. hope I can get there on a night when those conditions are about the same and am a little better prepared next time..
:D :blblack:

Made some runs with a Gtecpro the other night.

2005 MC -15" light alloys. BMC CDA with custom CAI. 1/4 tank of Total 98 RON (Rated at 99RON).

Completely dry cool non humid night, driving on local country road.

Ist run - 0-60 in 7.4 sec. Slipped clutch at 3500 rpm.

2nd run - 0-60 in 9.8 sec. Lost concentration as saw headlights in rear view and slipped clutch at 5000rpm (oops)

3rd run - 0-60 in 7.6 secs. Slipping the clutch around 3000 rpm.

Didn't think that was too bad really. Tested it after on my mates Renault 19 16v and he was getting 7.3's and 7.4s. So it was definately accurate.

I do drive it like i've stolen it most of the time though, so I don't know if the adaptive ECU helps?? :)

Santa Pod last weekend best 60ft was 2.085 :D

Best run was

60ft 2.115
330ft 6.337
660ft 9.842
mph 69.98
1000ft 12.806
1320ft 15.497
mph 86.22

86.22mph / 2447lb = 130.2 flywheel hp

The ECU was coming up with various codes and was in limp home mode, we have now traced the problem and now its like a different car, its more like an S than a One now ;)

how did you get that figure?

anyone try a bag of ice on the intercooler?

I read a road test of a cooper s a few years ago, and the review mentioned something about letting a bag of ice sit on the intercooler for 10 minutes - I presume they didn't start with a piping hot engine, but you never know. I would think that would give a reduction in times, at least for one run. I don't have my MCSC yet, but I'll try it in November when it gets here.

it would work, but for a short time. Good thing to do is spray cold water over the intercooler, especially when its hot.

Just test my MCS few minutes ago with the Beltronic Vector FX1 device, the result is:

60Ft = 2.3

0-60MPH = 6.08sec ;)

My car has 17% pulley, MyMini Intake, JCW exhaust, DensoIR plugs and MTH tuner file.

Not sure how accurate with the Beltronic device, but very please with the time. And I still don't know where I can find a place to do the 1/4 mile run.. :confused:

Happy motoring!!
:dark: ;)

Here's some 0-60 times recorded by an 03 and 04 MCS using a G-Tech Pro.

Andrew 2003 MCS (stock)
1: 6.96
2: 7.38
3: 7.57
4: 7.52
Average: 7.4
Standard Deviation: 0.28

Liam 2004 MCS (Alta CAI and Milltek cat-back exhaust)
1: 7.31
2: 7.52
3: 7.72
4: 7.49
Average: 7.5
Standard Deviation: 0.17

Times were measured with two people in the car and over half a tank of fuel (98RON).

Mini cooper S completely Standard (at the time)

1/4 mile time:

RT - 0.595
60ft - 2.497
MPH - 91.5
ET- 15.312

was about 8 degrees C

Iv now got a 15% reduction pulley and an
Ata CAI so cant wait to try the 1/4 mile
again to see if they improve my times by much!

Yeah you should try and get up its a really good track and alot of fast cars turn up so its a good day out!

Thanks, im really wanting to get into the 14's. I do need to practice starting, not the best at it.
 
#96 ·
You have to get in the zone, so take your time as you go into stage sometimes its better to let the other person stage first and then you go into 2nd stage I usually stage via the handbrake as well

What I try to do is focus on the element of the bulb and react to that.

If nothing else its always nice to beat the other guy on reaction.

Yeah i was thinking about using the handbrake! What RPM do you sit at when are away to go for it? I was spinning to much to start with then trundling away after that as spinning left me with too much too catch up on the other car.
