I get a free Cooper from work. I also have a 66 Austin Cooper S that I am restoring. After driving this thing it puts my cooper to SHAME. I would still drive my cooper to work most of the time but the GP would be a blast on the track and on rallys with the MINI club.

I used to be a car driver, and washer for BMW, so i got to drive a bunch of coopers. All i know is that the cooper works is f***ing ridiculously fast, and handles amazing too! I was lucky enough to get some quality time with that car

What's the difference between the works and the GP?

I love the sound of the sc in those too... One of the most fun cars to drive imo. I don't like that wing though...

The GP has 16 more HP and they also shaved off around 140 pounds of weight...WHEEEEEEEEE

Patrick (PATDIESEL) was looking at that car a few months back when he heard about it...

I think he is going to wait for the Mazdaspeed3 to make its way here...

Still, a bad-a-- ride, man!

Driven a mazdaspeed 3 as well as a MS6..Theyre VERY nice. I just like the awesome "go kart" handling of the MINI... I truly think it is unparalled in the auto industry.

MAN!! I cant sleep! Hope this thing somehow finds its way into my driveway.
