Mini cooper S vs Mk1 135 Elise

Post by Victor Meldrew » Sat Mar 11, 2006 2:53 pm

I have been chatting with a friend from work who has a son with a cooper S. The mini has been to crail raceway a few times and is running 15 seconds for the strip.. what would I expect to get with my 135? I can see a bit of a good natured challenge brewing....
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

2up would make the difference, that and obviously the state of the timing / start bit / and how brutal you were.

Shug, he`s about, and I will remind him he owes you £.

Who cares! If you bought a Lotus for 1/4 mile speed you have bought the wrong car.

Ask him to match you round Knockhill :wink:

Would love to... cue the embarasing fact that at the MMC track day last year Pauline passed me in a Cooper S.... still it was first time at knockhill with the car, have done a few! more miles since then.
