"This 1965 Mini Cooper has been turned into a mid-engine drag car, and now runs eight-second quarter-miles. There's a 900-horsepower turbocharged Honda K20 four-cylinder sitting behind the driver, and it sounds wild."

Americans seem to have much more fun as they’re less concerned with negative opinions and trolling..
Us English are losing our fun streak that got the humble mini famous in the first place

Many forums are full of “keep it standard” trolling and negative opinions on others vehicles and intended use

A real shame

Great video tho!

I have to say they are smashing these engines into everything even a Smart Car. A lockdown collaboration between Fasterproms, PFI Speed

100% agree! While I do love and appreciate the immaculate preserved examples, there are more than enough Minis left in the world to have some real creative fun with.

Don't think it's actually a Cooper, where's the boot brackets?
