Got an email fro MINI USA about this:
MINIUSA.COM
limited run of 2000 cars, no backseats, 217 hp @ 7100, 184 ft-lb @ 4600, top speed of 150mph. If they geared this thing correctly it will be pretty damn fast. (I hope it has an LSD, but since it is available as a option on the MCS’ now, it probably has it on the JCW GP edition)
