Maybe because the Mini is a tad heavier than the Clio.
I hate the Mini with a passion. Had a run-in with an S the other day and it was like taking candy from a child (well maybe not that easy)but I can imagine a Works would be damn fast.
I just cant stand them, they look ghey, the boot isnt worth opening unless you need to carry a book of stamps. And whats with the 90inch rims?

Or because arguments like this are done to the death. The real questions are whether to use optimax or tesco and Exaltos or GSD3s?
your right also cupking were you using the special cup water in your washer bottle with the special cup air in your tires

Lol Not sure where his argument was
. There is a post on here somewhere were people are saying how they miss the good old days when you could talk about little blasts youve had with more expensive/powerful cars....Chris
On the subject of the Bini Cooper S, we took my car to Oulton Park at the weekend.
4 up and it was still flying. y0z2as mate Dave had previously had a MCS and hadnt been impressed. He was so impressed with the handling and performance of the Clio, even with us lot in it, that hes looking at getting one!
McBunny, stop being so bitter that you no longer own a "hot hatch".

I dont think anyone goes for a Works if theyre NOT interested in performance. Just a logical observation
you would be suprised what people buy even if they aint interested in performance

Ill just add that I think its entirely likely that the average Works driver would probably think the RS Clios are easy pickings. Always nice to educate some drivers heh?
My thoughts exactly.
I dont see pi55 all wrong with someone coming on here stating that they have outgunned a works cooperS. I think its healthy discussion. Anyone that says otherwise is anally retentative. Whats the point of having a discussion forum if youre not allowed to say anything for fear of some mailto:tw@t">tw@t putting you down for doing so in the first place. I could have sworn that people join forums like this for a reason... a passion about cars. If talking about every aspect of a car (mainly the cliosport) doesnt appeal to you then bugger off.
I annihilated a CLK230 kompressor last night. I thrashed a S2000 on the A1M the night before. I embarrased a Punto GT driver the night before THAT! Anything wrong with talking in this manner? NO... not really.
I love noting more than some suited oink in his company bmw/merc etc look at you like "yeah right... your in a fookin clio for god sake"... and then try to race past you. Only to find you (in a fookin clio) overtake HIM at great pace, and leave im crying somewhere back there.
rant over
actually ive only ever had to cars paste me in a straight line one was a STI PPP 300hp obviously quicker and a mini cooper s works. i was in my MK2 172 and i absolutley gunned it and it sat behind all the way maybe it was tuned even further ? who know with turbo/supercharged cars what their running and how they output at different temps also. at least with N/A cars you usually know where you are with them

Im not going to get into the whole Cup thing here, but compared to the 172Cup against the MCSW (in this thread), youd have effectively being carrying an adult male in your passenger seat.
Also, if your roles had been reversed and you were behind the Mini, you would have been perfectly justifed coming on here with tales of how you kept up with a Works. You are saying he stuck with you, but he was probably gutted he couldnt get past.
