Aside from my personal vendetta against the company, I couldn't imagine a mini with that much power. Driving my friend's 1275 car feels like PLENTY of power. I bet it's a rocket.

Mine had a Cooper-spec 998 and was fun, too.
I generally agree that 200 hp in a front drive classic Mini is a bit too much......my buddy had a D series in his and at 135 hp it feels just about right.
Mine will have 250 hp, but it will be rear drive.......
Why not make it a lot dangerous with some date code 4606 tires?
