Mk2 16v VS Mini Cooper S
« on: 29 June 2004, 14:44 »
I was wondering how many of you guys have raced a mini cooper s in your 16v's. Everybody I speak to thinks the cooper s will leave the golf for dead but I disagree with them. What does everyone else think?

both in standerd form i think that would be a pretty close race,
0-60 in a mini cooper s is about 7.9<---------this time in diffrent magazine varies wildly :-\

but it would be a fun in line race! :D

a good 16v would give a standard cooperS a run for its money.

as with most "races", its not about performace, but about driver skill and the size of their dangly bits. the driver who takes more risk, tends to win.

Well I wouldn't say this chav had large dangley bits, just a death wish !

He was in a 16v clio and after struggling to keep up on some country lanes, appeared behind me again in town and was still after more ....  ;D

The twit only over took me on the wrong side of a fecking hump back bridge - what a knob !

that is nothing.

go for a drive in northern thailand. the behaviour you mention is standard overtaking practise.

i can be aggressive when driving but even I surrendered. i think i gave up at the point i realised trucks do the same thing. not 4x4s i mean big big artics. they are all nuts out there.

mental mini! I got a spin in that as well. the charger sounds wicked, got a really loud whine to it.
