Wow!! 100bhp at the wheels is tame??? In a mini I would consider that kind of power as exceptional for a NA engine..But maybe im easily pleased.So its only me who thinks that even the 296sp is a kitten? I would hardly say all hell breaks loose. Even with over 100bhp at the wheels i would still consider this tame.
What are you actually going to be using the car for?
It is a decent ammount yes, but some people would class that as a full race engine. No not a chance. its a good fast road engine nothing more.
What i would class as full race engines would be miglia engines. There a good 115bhp at the wheels, they make good power considering the restrictions that are put in place.
Then there would engines running md310`s and bp320`s with over 130bhp at the wheels on a five port. These are very few and far between but do exist.
