what will it take to get my mini to rack the 0-60 sprint down to this magic number.

is it possible with a 'normal; a-series, or is forced induction or engine transplant the only option.

what will i need? huge weight loss, 1380? 1440? 848? hyabusa? bi-turbos?


also, with that time, what bhp and torque would i need? (obviously, this depends on weight, and maybe a small amount of streamlining.)

mid six second 0-60 times are achievable, with about 120bhp and upwards.

the key thing is getting good traction so good sticky tires and a good suspension set up, oh and a good driver to launch the car properly.

4WD and a couple of turbo's

ok problems then, i dont have 120bhp, sticky tyres, good suspension or a good driver!

It seems to me to be a bit of a pointless question then.

But in standard trim, and with a 3.4 FD, a Mini would need about 120-130bhp and at least Yoko A008, or A032R tyres.

umm... or not.

2WD and one turbo will easily see you hit 0-60 in the 5 region (with the right set up etc etc)

what will it take to get my mini to rack the 0-60 sprint down to this magic number.

so why is 6.4 seconds a magic number?

thats the time boxsters do.

i dont really know why, but i always wanted a mini with that sort of performance 0-60.

I used to have an 850 fully tuned with 3.9 diff in the early 80s and that used to beat porches and 3.0lts capris ........................

It's times like these I want to run around the streets screaming how much I love Minis.

3.9 diff!!!

Top speed of 77 MPH!!!

[AndrewJ530]

Is that the quoted time for a boxster? If it is, i would imagine it wouldn't even reach 7.5 seconds because it was probably tested on a rolling road in perfect conditions. So therefore the mini would be faster if it could reach the 6.4 mark

shave some weight, fit an R1 engine and run some real sticky tyres - no problem at all.
