Whoa! I never knew RT had a Mini

Nice vid. Never seen a car do a stoppie before.

Let me guess - your next car -'05 Mini Cooper S (since it looks like the overdog in G Stock )

Wow pretty impressive.

The mini cooper maybe german now but it doesn't have a little shield on the bonnet.

yeah... It's beneath Steve j/k but I think it will be the car to have in it's class. Other than the new Boxster S (equipped with shield on the hood and a 60K price tag) I can't think of which car would be as much of an overdog as the Mini S w/lsd.

Yeah, the Mini w/ LSD in GS certainly doesn't bode well for my RSX. I thought the Celicas were tough too...now it's gonna be a slaughter. Then again, I don't know how much it's going to effect street tire classes. Or maybe it will give me something to blame other than my driving.

Is this really a FWD Mini on the video?
Granted I haven't driven a FWD car in a while, but can you really do tight donuts like these with the front wheels pulling?

The 05 RSX-S also got some nice performance updates, but still no LSD right?

If say you had a 04 mini cooper could you upgrade to a stock LSD now since the 05 comes with one and still be GS legal?
