2016 Mini Cooper S

Are those things fast? I have a friend who has a V6 Camaro. She told me that Mini's are always trying to race her.

In stock form, in a straight line, no. Not Camaro fast.
They are fun on the curves. And have decent acceleration thanks to a good torque curve from the turbocharged engine (and AWD in my case).

But a Camaro will hand your *** to you if you are driving one of these in any real race.

I would say not as fast as a V6 Camaro... but its very quick down the line due to the twin turbo as BMW calls it when its only a single turbo with dual gates.

Its more visceral due to short wheel base not much body roll like my previous 370Z...I bet this would be fun to drive at the Dragon.

Among the cars Ive driven this is one is the fun and enjoyable car I drove second to the 370Z.

I’ll enjoy it while the daughter is still out of school possibly till next year lol
