But I mean if you guys are really intersted in which car performs better then why are you just simply putting a vote on it? Why not get off your couch and computer and actually do a little testing?
Gee, I'm about as far 'out west' as you can get, so I guess you are referring to me. AND:
1. I was serious about the respect that was being paid, it was inordinate.
2. I and most on this site don't race except maybe ourselves.
3. My Z is stock because it seems to work fine without mods.
4. I thought you politely bowed out,(I was wrong) but you are welcome here.
5. I am glad you are such a restrained person because, as portrayed, you are a bigger, faster, better person than I am. AND
6. Most of us don't want to accept your challenge as we are too busy rounding up votes at our computers. Besides, I saw movies about the South and I'd rather stay out here with the buffalos, wild indians, and stage coaches.

The Mini is a great car. I wish it was the same size as the old one, but good nonetheless. I'm positive it offers you great handling, and apart from this battle in votes, I don't really see any Mini bashing in this community. Just people who love cars.

Mini Cooper, I have nothing but love for the Mini's. Check out this thread... https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260614. I'll take you up on your challenge if it can wait till May sometime.

Where in NC are you? There is a twin charged mini in Charlotte I have seen. That thing is pretty wicked. And when I saw it, it had nitrous on top of the supercharger and turbo.

My grandfather was founding president and CEO of BMW North America and I still say the Mini is a laughing stock.


Folks, you can't make this stuff up. Yes, there are people dumber then bricks still roaming the earth!

Hey Derek,

I'm thinking that if he is 100% serious, then we can take it to the track. I guarantee that if you can't beat him in your car, I sure can.

I got to drive my friend's Mini last night for a while. The interior is NICE, the supercharger is smooth, the transmission is sure footed. And with the suspension mods he has performed, the Mini handled exceptionally! Props to the Mini!

Yes this is the same mini that was at CPR. However I dropped a bit of parasitic drag of the supercharger.

Yup, I've seen your car before and under the hood. Pretty nasty. You were at UNCC one night for one the car meets there.

We should agree between the MINIs and the Zs that whoever wins between us in this 'for fun' contest, that the other will support the poll in the run off with the Beemer.
That way our worst scenario wil be that either of us will only have been beaten by the champion and neither of us will be relegated to the level of 3rd or 4th place with a giant GMC SUV. Damn those Minis are now not only cute as the dickens, but they have money and sing well too. I pledge my soul(already been sold once) that I will vote for the Mini if it ends up running against the Beemer!

I have no problem with that. If we lose to the Mini, I will go and for the little bugger so it can get that much higher up!
