That's the trap many fall into. They feel that because their V6 Camaro makes 300+ hp it must be fast.
Unfortunately due to the weight (3700 + lbs) its not all that fast. Don't get me wrong its not slow. But by today's standards its quite average in speed. |

Even the 2012 turbo charged S is rated at mid 6 second 0 - 60 and a 15 second quarter mile. If this is an older less powerful model, you can expect to win in the straight line.
As for handling, whichever of you has more experience in the twisties will win, and when turns are involved, driver skill plays a much larger role.

A V6 with full bolt ons, Long tube Headers, Exhaust, throttle body, CAI, Ported insulated intake and tune would eat the little bugger alive. Who would race a stock V6 Camaro anyways? You could attain 290 whp with these mods.. Good tires and suspension will leave it far behind.

Here's the stats from one online mag testing 2012 Mini Cooper S vert Valvetrain: DOHC, 16v, Valvetronic variable valve timing Compression ratio: 10.5:1 Horsepower: 181bhp@5,500rpm Torque: 177ft-lb@1,600-5,000rpm (192lb-ft on overboost mode) Rev limit: 6,500rpm Suspension (F) MacPherson Strut, Coil Spring, Anti-Roll Bar Suspension (R) 4-link Independent, Aluminum Rear Trailing Arms, Coil Spring, Anti-Roll Bar Steering: Rack & Pinion, Electronic Power Assist Wheels/Tires: 17×7″ Alloy, 205/45/ZR17 run-flat tires Brakes (F/R): 11.6″ vented discs F/ 10.2″ solid discs R. Anti-lock, corner brake control, elec. brakeforce distribution 0-60mph: 6.5s Top speed: 142mph 1/4 Mile: 14.8 seconds So its real close to V6 Camaro performance wise. But I'll definately give the edge to the V6 Camaro in a stragiht line. |
