kingcorn Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 the mini cooper s works with 210bhp has been reported to be unable to cope properly with its power, the chassis is at its most competent at 170bhp. in the same way the lupo gti would be about best with 150bhp-170bhp. 200bhp a bit too much needing more work to manage it, 300bhp a waste of money and no more fun or usable.

kingcorn Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 when you see that a 118bhp elise is more fun than 260bhp nova, thats when money and intentions have gone in the wrong direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 300bhp a waste of money and no more fun or usable.The Mini Works comes with BMW Warranty and is sold by the thousands aimed at Estate agents and Mums who haven't yet progressed to a Range Rover Sport.Of course 300bhp is usable! With an LSD, Venoms (paid for) car was perfecting acceptable apparently although on a bumpy road as with most LSDs it used to move around.Most stand alone management systems allows you to store more than one map, have a daily map, and a fun map!
