Nope, I think they will always drive BMWs. I love this car. It's like a muscley small dog: an aggressive stance but big brown eyes. And to Gorgonzola it has 170bhp. I had that in my Cooper S (near as) and you can have a lot of fun with 170bhp in the right car.

It´s not about how many HP´s do you have, it´s about Weight vs HP´s what really matters

hmmm this stripped down version weighs around 2000lbs, 2000/170=11.76 lb/hp, hmmm the new camaro is 3800lbs with 400hp... 3800/400=9.5 lb/hp. Therefore camaro=better looking, better power/weight ratio, and cheaper?

Thats the most retarded comparison ever made. Camaro V Arbarth, where'd ya come up with that???? have you been having sleep overs with gorgonzola? I think the car is a great looking and should be a really fun drive. Its about time there was some Cooper S competition. I'd love to wind the boost up a bit and fit an LSD!!!

well... when people excuse the power a car makes by saying it's power to weight ratio makes it all better... it better at least have a decent power to weight ratio. In this case, it's decent... but definitely doesn't compensate for the fact that your gonna be driving a pop can car designed to appeal towards metrosexuals.
