The cooper S looks so much quicker going by figures than old lard arse.

Nissan 350Z
Already been discussed on here somewhere... but dont you think 16.2 secs as they claim the Mini does 0-100 is a little on the ambitious side for a 1200 kg car with 175 bhp?
Methinks they've got that wrong, or that Mini has been remapped. No way will a 175 bhp car that weighs as much as that does do 0-100 in 16.2 seconds.
Worrying me though, is the fact that a 175 bhp could be quicker than a one with 195 bhp full stop, when theres little difference in weight.

The new Cooper S is as quick as the old supercharged Cooper S works (almost) heavyweight or lightweight the games moved on, most of the motoring press reviews are getting 0-60mph figures of 6.6 - 6.7 secs(ish)
, and thats not even likely to have loosened off yet. 50 -70 0-100 times are also equally impressive. However its more refined and the powersteering feels somewhat detached from the driving experience.
Think the 197 and Cooper S have moved on in many ways but still prefer the 182 and Supercharged S.

That's what I thought too. Using a CTR as an example (cos they're the same weight - 1204kg): a CTR has 22bhp more yet takes 16.9secs 0-100 according to the bible (EVO)
