Of course it still has to get that power to the ground using "only" two
wheels... and even the vaunted Type R has trouble with that :)

Subject: Re: The new MINI
Absolutely correct, Will, I don't have any doubts that the MINI will be a
faster Solo II car than any stock Neon. Consider the inherent handling
characteristics of a 12ft long, 5ft wide car with wheels all the way out at
the corners, PLUS 80% of the 155+ torque coming in at 2500rpm.
I don't think any luck shall be needed...
