Re: I need help
Henry,
I haven't driven either. And I know the Mini's are legendary for their
handling. It would be interesting to hear from our racing bretheren on the
Digest how lap times of a Mini compare to a GTV on a real tight track or
autocross circuit (so that factors out some of the horsepower advantage of the
GTV). I think that would be a fair comparison of "tossablility." My unbiased
bet is on the GTV, but I could be wrong.
