S= supercharged.

i almost bought one to turn into a race car... yes they are that fun and that capable...

klaus kindor from crevier is the local scca showroom stock champ with a regular mini. judy ray (used to be with crevier races them in the 25hr of thunderhill enduro). klaus bump drafted a porsche gt2 at buttonwillow... that is he was drafting so tight he bumped it a few times... thats how capable these cars can be in the right hands.. and it was pretty much stock per the rules for showroom stock class...

go watch the italian job and you'll be so psyched about it you'll want one Baaaadddd!!!

i also got a club race vid that a friend of mine was in... he dusted it with a race prepped e46m3, but the vid was from an older porsche 911 sc battling it out with a cooper s and the cooper beat it in the end.. very tight racing and very exciting to watch!
