I don't think he means A series.. "fastest naturally aspirated front wheel drive mini"

So that would count the big V8s out.. I don't think the GTi would match some of the Vauxhall or Vtec mini's..

13 seconds for the 1/4 mile in drag racing is slow. The amount of money it would cost to get a mini to do those times really isn't worth it. If you want some fast times pick another vehicle and be happy with the mini you have. If you can't get a vehicle to break the 10 sec barrier in drag racing, take up hillclimbs.
