the S works hits the 210KM (finish the 5th gear) in maybe 700-800 meter, the 6th gear is slow till 225KM....
my friend got one, he raced a BMW 330, and beats 330 easy... i raced a 530 in my civic with 1.6 vtec and beat him by 2 or 3 cars till 210KM, but my friend raced me and beat me like 5 or 6 lights on seef highway (till 210KM), so you can say he can beat the 530 like 6 lights??...he also raced a Lexus 430 till his 4th gear and the cooper was ahead....:naughty:
so if the Z3 can beat a 530 by 6 lights, the Z3 and the works would be the same mostawa...:bigok:
this car is fast, beware everybody..

Having driven both, I say with reasonable assurance that the 2.8 is faster..

Then akeed mini works asra3! No way a z3 2.8 manual will beat me 6 lights! I raced a z3 2.8 automatic in the 530i and i was in his rear back! and i am the one who raced mr. aryan (1.6 v-tec, headers, exhaust, intake) in the 530i and he beat one car length till 4th and i gained on him 5th! I went even with 330i's! So i guess the conclusion will be z3 3.0 manual vs. Mini works!

I Mini Cooper S Works is under-rated in my opinion. It will go from 0-60 in low 6's maybe!

Well, I checked many sites and no site mentioned a number in the low 6's. They were all high 6's :bigok:

The only thing to do is to take the car for a test drive from Euro Motors and check it out :lildevil:

Here's a Full review (http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=16&article_id=7279) about the Mini cooper works package. Its very faster than the S version.

Take it from me guys.. I've test driven the Mini S Works and I have it on video...its fast from 0-120 only..

I don't think it stands a chance against a 2.8, especially a manual..

Mini S Works is only 200HP..
