I don't think even a 210hp Works can trouble a Z, if the Z driver is not caught off guard.
Hmmmmm not so sure...... Depends what kind of roads it's on.
I had a JCW mini and traded it for my 350Z. Mini will win on twisty roads hands down. It's lighter,nippier and handles far better. But I love my Zed for all its lardy, softy sprung arse.
That was my point!
I've seen (OK track prepped) minis round knockhill chasing Alex. Twistie bits they can gain time. Straight - bye bye! I'm guessing the Minis are heavily modified but Alexs car is barely a Zed!
Seen the standard ones and on the mega twisties (80% of roads in Aberdeenshire) they'd give a Zed a good run.
