For some reason i thought the Cooper S made 210hp, that’s where the problem lies.
Would be nice if it was, I believe it has been detuned a bit and they’ve removed the popping and banging but I don’t think it ever had that much poke. Would have been too close the JCW other wise. Modern cars/engines are far more efficient and weigh a lot less. But for some of us they have lost something.
