Kinda off topic, but... My friend has a Mini, but with a less powerful engine. The one with less than 120 horses (don't know much about minis) And i own a naturally aspirated cruiser. He says he would smoke me in a race because his car is so much lighter. Is this true? I know he'd beat me, but not by much, right?
Here's what I'm thinkin.....the PTGT has about 50HP more than the Mini Cooper S and most likely wouldn't beat it by much. You car only has 30HP than your friends Mini.......you'd probably get him off the line as I believe you a have a fair amount more torque than he does, but he'd most likely take you pretty well in the 1/4.
