I am picking up a Cooper S in a months time. Can't decide if I should keep the TTR 225Q as well. Has any of you driven the Cooper S? How does it compare to our cars? Does it feel as fast? I will like to keep both, but financially it makes sense to sell the TT. However if the Cooper S doesn't live up to expectation then I will keep the TT.

That it's not as fast. One of the major car mags just tested the Mini Cooper S at 7.2 0-60. However, that doesn't mean it's not a very fun car to drive, which I understand it is.

that lead a few of us around on some of the other roads in the area, was flying. The car has 163 hp I believe, but weighs very little, and has the wheels right at the corners, so it handles really well. I definitely had much more power (especially since I'm a chipped 225 w/exhaust), but you could tell that the Cooper is much lighter, and more nimble. Now, if you put a wheel off or you're in the rain, or something like that, give me the TT with Quattro any day, but the car looks like a hell of a lot of fun to drive.

The roads he lead us on were all the equal of Deals Gap, some even better and mor epicturesque. Because there were only 7 of us, we were flying. It was one hell of a day.

Your name was brought up at the first ever Melbourne TT get together. How about that, all the way down under!!! Someone said you knew eveything about our cars.

I have driven it in Europe last August, very comparable to our cars.

oh yeah, some mods are already out for that car bringing it to 200hp easily.

Any details on this? Links?

It definitely doesn't accelerate like a 225 TT, but I'd say it outhandles a TT easily.
