A friend is buying a Mini, and wants to autocross it. What's the best option-package (most competitive) for a Mini? I guess it has all these options, like five-point harnesses (??) and the like, and

Yes, fast and competitive. Which Mini in which class has the best odds? I think he'd prefer the S, though. -Katie == Katie Kelly Guilt slows your metabolism.

If it's not the S version (G Stock), it will run in HS. Unless, of course, he immediately starts fiddling with the stuff that puts it into one of the new Street classes...:) --Pat Kelly --

Naw, that can't happen, can it? :) So far, there have been several well-driven Minis at Nationals last fall, and Tours and Pros. Mark Chiles comes to mind. He hasn't won at Nationals. And he is a ver

Thinking about the Mini myself. It was my understanding that the S couldn't be had with a real limited slip, just the electronic traction control. Is that still the case? Is that a problem? Too bad t

What's half and half ? You can install a Quaife (or alternatives) and run in FSP, STX, SM. Would you rather be seen in a hairdresser's car like an s2000 ? squid.

Cooper (base model) with no options is good in H-stock. Cooper with sport-suspension-plus ($500 stand-alone option) understeers more but overall is better as long as the going doesn't get too rough o

I'm wondering how they revise the supercharger to boost power to 200 hp on the non supercharged 115 hp Cooper, or what they mean by 'also available for the base model'. No mention of an LSD though :
