2.0 golf is about 400 lbs heavier with same hp
Do you still think it would be an even match up?

Just cuz the hp is the same doesn't mean they will be the same.
The mini will take out many cars hovering around the 130hp area.
Small weight + hp are the key to the car kickin a**. Think "old 300zx"....

Actually, the Mini weighs in at 2314 lbs. and has a power to weight ratio of 1hp:20lbs. That would put it at a sizeable advantage over a Golf 2.0L.
An even more impressive match is gonna be the 1.8T against the Mini S which is turbo and rated at 163hp. It has a power to weight ratio of 1hp:15lbs and weighs in at 2469lbs. Now if I'm correct, isn't that close to a Porsche 911 power to weight ratio? Talk about being nailed to the seat when flooring the throttle!
