- Since the topic came up, I'm curious enough to take a poll. How many people on this list plan on getting a Cooper or Cooper S, and are you on a dealer list, and where? Both my father (raced a modded

- Here in Louisiana, the ONLY authorized dealer is in New Orleans - a 5-1/2 hour drive from Shreveport. And there are NO authorized dealers in Texas, yet, because of a conflict with state law. (BMW ran

- I'm interested in getting a Cooper S. I'm not on a dealer list yet. I still strongly dislike having to go from Houston all the way to New Orleans to buy a car. I'm also always nervous of buying a bra

- Well, compared to the 1st gen Neons, don't hold your breath too long. The new Minis are supposed to be over 2400# and even the hot rod version S doesn't have _that_ much more power. Now as to refinem

- Note that 163HP isn't like Civic Si VTEC top-end 160HP horsepower, being supercharged it will have a much wider torque curve - much more applicable to autocross. Will Kalman '91 Escort GT CSCC #232 S

- Absolutely correct, Will, I don't have any doubts that the MINI will be a faster Solo II car than any stock Neon. Consider the inherent handling characteristics of a 12ft long, 5ft wide car with whee

- They had two New Mini's at the recent SEMA Show. One was a stock car. BRG with a white roof if I remember correctly. And they had a Red with white roof prepped one from Mini Mania. This baby had 17 i

- I'm with you there, Larry. Much as I like the New Mini, I'm in the market right now for an original shell - doesn't even have to be a Cooper S - so I can drop my spare 1275 drivetrain into it and use
