go aftermarket...more power cheaper

I think I'm going to hold off and wait for the JCW Mini Cooper S. It'll be available in August for 28-29k...

good luck waiting that long

I say just get the Cooper S and hold off on the JCW package. I think you'll be VERY satified with the power of the bone stock MCS.

BTW: interesting thread title

I'm actually thinking about buying a motorcycle and saving up for the August release of the JCW. If the motorcycle doesn't get me killed, I should be a happy JCW MCS owner... We'll see... :P

As for the thread title, it's from the infamous website: http://www.xsunderground.com/thechilde/

My unsolicited advice: Buy a MCS, I've driven an Xa and like the car. However, there's no comparison either in cool or fun. The Mini option list is expensive. Get sport suspension, limited slip, and HID lights. Stay with "16 wheels. A JCW steering wheel and shifter are both highly recommended though $$. Plan to ditch the run-flats well before they're worn. They ride like crap. I'm confident you get option out a wonderful Mini for less than $28k.
