84 timed runs with a variety of factory-fresh stock Cooper S models. The new 6 speed Automatics always beat the 6 speed Manuals. Top 3 times, 14:85, 14:87 and 14:88 all by the same driver! He soundly thrashed all the other 27 competitors.

  • The new 6 speed Automatics always beat the 6 speed Manuals

    learn to shift

  • Yes but MINI dont use DSG boxes, also I assume thats in paddle shift mode, not stock auto mode?

    Even so there is no way an auto should beat the times of a manual, unless the driver is aweful at using a manual?!

    No way an auto even on paddle shift will out drag the manual in the UK... Do you guys have different ratios in the US on the R56 auto or something?!

  • Auf dieses Video antworten...  Automatic sucks

  • @superchargedturbo never xD

  • A proper launch @2:07

  • what was the fastest time by any of them? A stock r53 cooper S can do sub 16 seconds on a manual box.  my airbox and exhaust modded S, as it was then, did a 15.0 once and im a crap drag driver. modded supercharged models on manual can do as low as 13s on road going cars

  • @R53MCS completely true.. any manual mini would kick the shit of out an automatic mini.. anyday.. period.

  • then they must be really really bad shifters!

  • LOL sad acceleration.

  • anyone selling a classic mini

  • this gearbox is very nice when driving hard. it's almost as quick as a dsg on upshifts.
