yellow chevy v8 powered one.

followed by a blue ford turbo powered one.

followed by the twinny.

then the don

then nic.

i dont class a zcars as a classic mini, doesnt count if the engine is in the back. front engine rwd is alright though.

Nathan Dobson's mini is in Miniworld, says it is the UK's fastest mini so thats the answer really! Overall has 700bhp i think, but you already said apart from yellow one so im not sure if you mean that one or not..

Nathan's a mate of mine and yes he officially has the fastest mini.

Its an awesome machine, I've been out in it and the aceleration is absolutely incredible, makes my R1 seem slow.

Its got a Seven and a Half Litre V8 Chevy engine putting out over 600bhp, plus Nitrous - currently set up for an extra 150bhp.
Through a Jaguar XJS automatic gearbox and diff to the back wheels.

And its about to get faster..... Nathan's just ordered two massive turbos from the States.

Your post is rather contradictory! The Z Cars Mini is as much a Mini as the Chevy powered one and Stuart Mead's Ford turbo Mini!


And it all depends on you're definition of 'fastest'? Fastest over 1/4 mile? Fastest over 1/2 mile? Top speed, or quickest around a corner?

Z Cars Monte Carlo has hit the rev limiter in top, at 154mph apparently. I'm sure some of the cars listed above are probably capable of similar speeds, but I don't believe anything has been recorded faster?
