    the first part is so true, upset a few people myself

    havent raced a cooper s yet but my old man traded his rx8 in (sick of putting oil in the thing!) on a john cooper works gp and i absolutely cannot get near it, its an awesome machine to drive, ridiculously light

    Yeah my brother sold his in the end as he was sick of the oil consumption. I must admit i liked driving the rx8, its a nice place to be sat inside one but it didnt set my world on fire.

    Fair point on the john cooper works, they are a different story...Im on about a normal cooper S which actualy weights more than the moon compared to a williams :D

    The cooper s won't make it in a straight line, not to mention cornering!

    Right ppl iv ballsed up the REVS I forgot the clio red line at 6500 thought it was 7000 like the Skyline OOPS.
    So the clio was around 2-300 rpm in the redline at 136mph so 6800.........

    Impressive, so a standard one has no chance
