RE: Show us your ride
Question about your TT. My buddy had a 3.2(?) Quattro and he said he hated it and it didn't go for $&@% lol what are your opinions on it?
And whoever is trying to say a civic is superior to a cooper didn't even compare the right model. R56s suck and I clearly state that, they are heavier, slower and less stiff. They were made for the modern lame consumer who doesn't understand fun. Yes they are still enjoyable and kick that Abarths 500's butt there is still plenty of room for improvement. Saying I've worked on and experienced over 50 cars at my household alone shows that the lack of knowledge among the gamer generation is pathetic. There are exceptions but as a general stereotype it's true. Did you even know the MINI Coopers throttle system is all electronic? That causes a lag in throttle response. When you give it the gas it senses it, but it won't go full go for about a half a second. That is just a flaw of all this technology we use in modern cars The newer MINIs are also turbo'd an have some of the worst turbo lag ever. The R53s have a supercharger that kicks in at 2300 and will take you up past red line still developing. That's not even a Cooper Works edition. Add the additional 3 lbs of supercharger boost, 50 horsepower and 25 ft/lbs of torque and the fight isn't even fair on a straightaway. Also note cooper s's with the sport and premium package come stock with the heaviest rims available MINI offers lighter rims for this reason one of these sets will remove 25lbs. I cannot wait for the June 2 track day to eat up more of these "god-like" Hondas haha > Also note the 2002 Cooper S fitted with the lighter wheels only weighs 1120kg. And if you really want to compare your "top of the line Honda" the Cooper GP only weighs 940kg and has a stock 0-60 of 5.9 seconds with a mere 218hp. |
