M3 ZCP Vs Mini Cooper S

NYCMCBM3 · 10-05-2010, 10:47 PM

i was just driving home from work and this little red mini cooper s is in my rearview with its JMD Yellow fogs bright as hell

, out of no where cuts me off

so then he pulls of like half a block ahead and started cutting trough traffic like crazy, so im like i gotta put this guy in his place

so i catch up to him at a light and he's 2nd to front of the light and another car is at the side of him so 4 cars are in front me, so i squeeze my way into a right of the road and cut them all off, so now he's pissed trying to catch up to me being a block ahead of everyone( traffic was light) so i slowed down and let him catch up to me when i see him about 2 car lengths in my rearview i just stepped on it and left him like 5 blocks away until i cudnt see him anymore and had to make the turn to go home

i tought these things were faster than that, he cudnt even catch up to me

anyone else ever raced one?

The Mini Cooper S is like a 15 second (1/4 mile) car. They are slow in a straight line.

NYCMCBM3 · 10-05-2010, 11:13 PM

^oh....in my head i was thinking is my car really this fast or his car just really that slow

but either way he will think twice before he cuts an m3 and try to show off his toy car

i dont think the Mini is anywhere close to a M3 competitor... but i agree, a little face-slapping doesnt hurt

Gloating over beating a Mini Cooper is like bragging about slapping the crap out of a 10 year old.

However, come to think of it, your story makes you sound like you're about 12, so, great job.

ChinoOrtega · 10-06-2010, 10:08 AM

I love minis, I wish I could get one S as my second car, there are so many options to have your mini different than everybody, that's the only thing better than my M, all the different factory options

graider · 10-06-2010, 10:17 AM

careful out there guys.

I did many stupid stints when I was in my 20s. Try to rein yourself in a bit. I know its hard. I recommend race track therapy. It allows me not to blow a gasket when some moron is going 55 in the left lane.

and his was driving it like if he tought it was a lambroghini

i just made him sit that ass down

frenchM3dreamer · 10-06-2010, 11:20 AM

i'd take an original Mini any day over the new ones...

nlpamg · 10-06-2010, 01:33 PM

I got one as a loaner for a few days. I was not impressed. The car was twitchy, needed too much driver input due to the FWD and didn't have as much power as I expected. I did not feel confident in the car. The M3 is better in every way. Hell, the 135i is better in every way.

But, the color changing LED interior was a nice touch in the Mini S! lol.

NYCM3ryder · 10-06-2010, 01:40 PM

OHH man i was out in long island on a date. So i am at a red light talking to my girl and all of a sudden i hear a car revving his engine. I look in my rear view mirror and i see its a mini cop s with stripes and all that. So i didnt pay no mind light turns green i go normal speed he pulls to the right on the emergency stop lane and cuts me off... then i see him smiling as he does that.. So i said ohh hell no dropped a gear and roared passed him... the girl i was with said hold on slow down a sec i wanna wave goodbye and give him the finger... lmao... i said ok she did n then said please hit that m button and smoke his like mini asss hahaha... i said baby your wish is my command... M mode engaged!!!! seeee yaaaaaa lmao

My wife has a MCS and it is no comparison to M in any regard.

IFX · 10-09-2010, 06:19 PM

oh god.. Mini to M.. really?

Honda to an M almost..just almost, seems as relevant...

ThunderMoose · 10-09-2010, 06:26 PM

no racing stories

TheKosherStogie · 10-09-2010, 06:39 PM

you'd be surprised...mini weighs around 2650lbs...get some good tires on it and in some tight corners you'd be surprised. Lots of people auto cross them...very fast

yemenmocha · 10-09-2010, 07:05 PM

Yay another M3 driver stereotype confirmed.
