@HoleyDiver The name of the group is Vast. Song is Thrown Away. Sounds much better than on this video too because of all the other noise and what not. :)
Vinny is the man. Great guy and glad I know him. Just want to say thanks for the turbo mustang. I'm havig a blast with it. Love the mini cooper also. That a fast little fucker and would surpirse anything on the track or street.
LMAO!!!!!!! i was there and saw this mini. i was so happy the way it just killed those cars! it was great! i loved it! where are you guys from so you can hook up my mini!
Impressive little car. I love seeing little cars with big power. It's even better when you can run 4 seconds faster than what the crowd/ announcers think.
Great job guys! How does it handle? IMO anyone who hates on a mini has never driven one. Sure its fwd, but its prob the best handling front wheel drive car there is. What it lacks in speed it makes up in ability to fit through cracks in traffic and no blindspot. If this thing can handle then the only better thing to drive would be an ariel atom or a formula 1.
Wow what a MINI. we have had a 7.3 Chevy blocked classic Mini do the quarter at our British Mini Showdown (run by the British Mini Club) this year in 9.96(new record) at 148mph but a new MINI has come no where near with a best of 13.6. Pity you can't bring it to the UK in July 2009 to our next showdown and try and beat our record
FWD still has it's place, it is quite a challenge getting it to run good times. If it were RWD it would easily be in the 9s. Which is fun and frustrating at the same time.
I prefer RWD dont get me wrong. This has been a fun challenge though.
Didn't have it on video. Frankly, when yer breaking records, yer gunnah break parts. OMG we broke some axels! They are stock. No biggie. Wanna see us break, do a search. It's right here on youtube. What did you build and run?
what is the song in the background?

The turbo whistle is just a heavenly sound.

I didnt just mean minis, i mean FWD cars in general. Should have pointed that out.

Ah, well, my bad, lemme correct my statement.
FWD still has it's place, it is quite a challenge getting it to run good times. If it were RWD it would easily be in the 9s. Which is fun and frustrating at the same time.
I prefer RWD dont get me wrong. This has been a fun challenge though.

Wow, a big tuned engine makes a small car go fast! More news at 11.
No matter how fast it is, it will never be taken seriously because of FWD.
gullf1sk 3 years ago
It's a MINI. Serious is relative, we do this for fun. Cause we can. Obviously it's taken serious enough to make you comment.
