If you like MINI's, and I do, you'll like this company out of GA.

0-60mph in 4.0 seconds on their homepage. :eek:

30-40mpg, who needs E85 or hybrids?

Here's the Car&Driver article on the car. (http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=26&article_id=9029&page_number=1)

that's cool. if they were 18-20 grand instead of 25K I'd be more interested. I've seen a test of one of these before and on a side note, i've heard of people hitting the brakes really hard and doing and endo in their mini. :)

Or a strong gust of wind and the wheels are off the ground. I'm in love with the widebodies on these.

I saw an article in a "superstreet" magazine where they put a Honda 2.0 with a supercharger in the REAR of the vehicle, it had butt loads of NOZZZZZ and the 0-60 times were 2.9(2.something), it was crazy crazy fast. it achieved that speed by launching in second gear.

Im too tall for a mini, and I dont want to die when a SUV hits me, I stand somewhat of a chance in my galant.

Ohterwise im pretty cool with a car that can probably kick my butt in every performance/handleing department

I heard that the torque steer on those can be friggin brutal though.

Definately would be a fun car to rip some canyons in though.
