The SS and GT are very capable cars around the track. My track pack GT is bone stock from the factory and i repeatedly pass 911's and M3's and bare bones C6 corvettes. imagine what i could do with an extra 100 hp and brembo brakes.

and very true^^ my V6 challenger comment was a joke referencing how ridiculous this challenge thing is getting

Great commercial from Hyundai!

Still above Mini's speed though. Mini, challenge a SmartForTwo

Interior material qualities were poor and space was minimal, A/C was insufficient in the Summer and power was lacking in both trims.

Overall a big POS in my book.

Reputation? They're a lot bigger fish to fry than Mini. If they were out for reputation, then they'd challenge the big dogs like Mini is doing to Porsche.

it would destroy it. the SE is a POS that had to be made because chrysler was going under and didnt have the funds to put in the new phoenix engine in before they debut the model.

Course has been revealed:

Last we checked, Road Atlanta was a famed professional 2.54-mile racetrack, not an oversized autocross layout on a training skidpad. Somebody may need to remind Mini USA, as the maker of famously small cars has just announced the "track" (their word, not ours) for its overly-publicized "Rumble on the Racetrack" (their title, not ours) challenge pitting the Mini Cooper S against the race-bred Porsche 911 Carrera S.

While Mini promises "No tricks. No gimmicks. No jokes" in its latest Facebook post, the map of the so-called challenge track autocross is nothing more than a few hundred cones dropped on the "School Course & Training Area" located in the infield of Road Atlanta by turns 6 and 7 (this is hardly the same asphalt that hosts cars like the Corvette C6.R, Porsche RS Spyder, Ferrari 430GT and Audi R10 TDI at the Petit Le Mans).

With the big shindig scheduled for Monday (with or without an official Porsche showing), this event has gone from entertaining to mildly disappointing. We don't need to explain to any of our readers that a Mini Cooper S is as comfortable on a loop-de-doo autocross course as Porsche is, well... on the winner's podium at Road Atlanta.

Mini has yet to answer the challenge from Hyundai (the Koreans were kind enough to offer to take Porsche's vacant spot on the grid), but they had better get on it. With a track autocross this tight, they should be expecting a call from Smart first thing Monday morning.
