Phantom Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 I actually saw a new one today - canary yellow with white top. Cute little thang. Driven by a woman - like a little ol' man - but still a neat looking little car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 There's a buttload (well maybe not that many) of them running around here. They look big at first, and then you catch up to them and see that they are still small cars, especially by today's standards. My bro is going to buy one when he gets back from the Far East. He has all kinds of mods planned too I like them better than the New Beetle. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 I saw a few back in northern cal, havn't seen one here yet, but others have. Its a nice little car, it gets pricey when optioned up a bit (up to what 26k? ) but hey, built by BMW (I'm told), so it can't be super terrible if thats true.

scottyMIz Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 hey guys my friend and soon to be brother in law works for bmw and he said they are quick but the supercharged ones i don't think are realased yet(i could be wrong).He said it makes his 4.3L vortec in his sonoma feel like an escort.He is gonna get one soon so we plan to turbocharge it.I got him hooked on turbos now and they come with an ic already it's actually a nice sized one.I can't wait to mod it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zpeed Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 i also heard they feel better than driving a go kart.. and i don't think the supercharged ones are released yet... think they have something like 210hp or something in that range.. not sure.. thered be some sweet mod kits coming out soon thou... get those things running well but is it just me, or do u think that alot of women will buy them, well the ones that i have seen on the street were all driven by women.. same as the beetle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 The Mini Cooper S has been out since May. One ran in the OTC and did well in Touring 4. They make about 165 hp supercharged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockjaw Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 I want one so bad, I think the supercharged one would be the way to go. Snatch that SC off and strap a turbo on it and go racing. They say they really handle nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
