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.

2006 JCW Mini-no mods with Michelin X-Ice winter tires and 2 people in the car. G-Tech used for all info.
Conditions: -18 degrees C
0-60 mph times
Run 1 6.01 seconds-let out clutch at 3000 rpm, lots of wheelspin, had to lift before getting back on the throttle.
Run 2 5.98 seconds-got rolling before putting the hammer down, still some wheelspin but lost time when engine bounced off rev limiter.
Run 3 5.72 seconds-got rolling before giving full gas, some wheelspin and shifted as tach crossed 6500 rpm.

Ok, this should put to rest any arguement that the JCW package isn't much better than a stock MCS-5.72 seconds is as quick as my Porsche 911 is with just me in the car and running sticky tires.

Very good work!

Nice times. I dont think you were running 210bhp though if its -18 degrees! 1degrees can sometimes amount to 1HP. You gotta love cold weather ;) Especially our track day we had at the start of the year. :D

Yeh, I suspect that the power was up because of the outside temp but I also had massive wheelspin because the tires/pavement were so cold. I'm betting that on a warm day and with little wheelspin, the numbers will be as good or better. I'm just shocked how fast the little bugger is, it's beyond expectations.

You've be amazed at how much the power will drop off as the temp goes up. Its a huge different even 10degrees temp on the intercooler can make.

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?? :)
Wow... that's absolutely fast for an MC. What's a BMC CDA :eek: , and do you have any chiptuning?

I want that too :D (stock 2005 MC with 16", have got a Pipercross I still have to install though).

1/4 mile on a Mustang dyno, with an entered weight of 2750. This was done as a warm up run prior to testing some intakes and the best intake was an average of 5 whp and 4 lbs better over the last 1000 rpm.

60' - 2.240 & 32.654mph
330' - 6.006 & 62.779
660' - 9.180 & 79.669
1000' - 11.872 & 91.787
1/4m - 14.131 & 101.426

This was done on my ce28n's with 215/40/16, F1-GS-D3's and at apx. 68 deg. F.

Quarter miles on dynos tend to be very optimistic. My 05 Evolution run 12.08 @ 114.8 at the track (Capitol Raceway MD) and the very next day did 11.15 @ 121.1 on a Mustang dyno. :rolleyes:

The dyno shop does figure a power loss in for wind resistance but still doubt it's equal to the MINI's. They did say they were usually within .2 sec. of reported Strip times. Still I figure it's best just for a comparison to other dyno 1/4 mile runs or over the shorter distances, say up to 660'.

Stock MCS, but with heavy S-Spokes and run-flats, dyno'd at 180bhp when it only had 5000 on the clock, so may have loosened up? Outside Temp 16.5 Degrees Celcius. Almost zero fuel. DSC Off. Measured with newly purchased GTechProSS. Need a lot more practice and not sure if it's setup right but...
0-60mph
Run1 - 8.36s
Run2 - 7.68s
Run3 - 6.14s

Run3 was very very slightly downhill.

Best i managed on a 52 plate MCS no mods was...

.486 ------- Reaction
2.476 ------- 60ft
6.585 ------- 330ft
9.992 ------- 1/8 ET
71.52 ------- 1/8 MPH
12.862 ------- 1000' ET
15.418 ------- 1/4 ET
90.00 ------- 1/4 MPH

Was very hot...temp reading on car dash was 31 deg:eek: so maybe on a cooler day times might decrease a bit

And if ya read this...Hi again to 1320 autos m8 who i spoke to today at santa pod

HAd a go up Santa Pod today,

Was'nt going to as only went up with my mates as they were all taking their bikes up the strip, jammy gits were pulling out 9 second qtr miles the gits!!!!

Anyway when i got up there the queue was about 3 cars long and unusually for santa pod the track was open 9 am !!! shock horror!!

So i thought get some free runs in just to see what mine would get in standard guise. anything lower than 16 would have pleased me.

Anyhow, was very slippery as only early and the MCS was spinning too easily off the line, on one run it just lit up silly style in 2nd.

But i ran 5 times and consistently got

16.1458 @ 88.41
15.9459 @ 90.37
15.9581 @ 90.53
15.8292 @ 90.14
15.8892 @ 90.19

I don't think you can get much more consistent than that! And that was all done in 18 mins tootal so shows how quiet it was today ( made a change)

Anywayi was happy with that as i know the 02 MCS strong point is not off the line, but more midrange. Anyway, Milltek Manifold and at going on on Wednesday, and then hopefully GTT 230 conversion done before July, which is when i will take it up there again to get a comparison.

Only Mini thee today though, quickest run by a "normal" car today was a VW Corrado that got an 11.42 qtr mile.

My advice pop along to these winte ones if you want some good track time at the pod, cos come summer you are lucky to get 3 runs in a whole day. Plus your car runs better in the winter. Good laugh.

Wind speed: No idea - slight breeze
Time: 21:20
Fuel: 95 Octane (3/4 tank)

0-60MPH: 6.71s

Previous best: 7.05s. Finally I'm getting the launch right :)

here you can see the effect of DSC on launches as well as the effect of temerature and my lousy r/t's
 
#127 ·
it was actually at infineon on october 25th, and it was my first time out, so because the 1st and 3rd run I forgot to disengage the DSC, and I didn't know you were supposed to try an launch at the last yellow, but I started to pick it up by the end, too bad I didn't knwo what a dial in ment, so I averaged my times, dialed in at 16.0, and then I broke out..... at least I whooped the del slow (pun intended) in the next lane over.
