The figure of 172/177 is the "ADVERTISED" rating by MINI and if you look back at the posts, the car on the dyno put down 170 hp and 202 ft/lbs of torque, thus turning the "ADVERTISED" rating to more like 190/195, give or take:shrug: I'm not saying I'd blow the doors off a N/A 3.0L CSVT, but I'd win! Don't forget about the 2 Notorious B.I.G's of weight you've got too compared to me!
I meant to type 172 / 202... sorry. You pretty much did say you'd blow the doors off by insisting the rear of your car was the view we would get... Realistically we'd probably see the quarter panel, or mirror.
And I dont know why you keep talking about advertised numbers, how cares...
