the last i remember matt posting on TM he was up around 284hp ish with the gas on iirc, sure he'll put us straight if he see's this though.



all depends on how you want to measure the quickest mini really? i'd go with 1/4 mile times personally.
in that case i think its stuart meads in his non A series RWD beast, The DON and Nic are both very close for the turbo'd A series, and is it gavin wakely the quickest nat asp A series mini?

I think 1/4mile times are good for compairison

Lets try to get the best, N/A A series, Charged A series, non A series (FWD) and non A series (RWD)

1/4mile times and top speeds would be cool

Oh and Matt Woods Mini is most deffo not 300bhp + on a Minispares Clubman straight cut gear set, I know that is what he runs



Sprocket, you said "Mini is most deffo not 300bhp + on a Minispares Clubman straight cut gear set"

So do you know what power they do take? I'm assuming that you have done full tests on these and have the results from breaking them at a set power??

As for the fastest mini ever, fastest to me means top speed, Quickest to me means accelerating. there for Ben Ross is well up there. I did rev mine very high the other day in top get on my 2.9 diff so i know this speed is VERY possible :D so i guess theres my answer. IMO 150 is possible.
