Minis are awesome, especially with a VTEC swap! Imagine 1200lbs with a revvy 160hp 4 that likes to touch 9,000 rpm every now and then. No matter what engine you get in them though, Minis are the ULTIMATE shitbox!

For power to weight, here's a crazy comparison: Gixxercart vs Viper!

This is a clip from Dmotor, the German version of Top Gear, and the chick driving is none other than Sabine Schmitz. Don't worry, I looked for the English subtitle version of the vid so you can understand what they are talking about. Achim, the guy who built the Gixxercart also is known for building a crazy series of Minis, one of which he raced on this show against Sabine in a Porsche 911.

That race is here:
