Let's post the numbers!:cheers:

Sounds pretty nutty, I wonder what sort of power did it put down? How much power do these have from factory?

July 24, 2008… After the burnouts are done and the arm-drop signals the start, drag racing enthusiasts attending this weekend’s PINKS All Out competition may find themselves cheering on a new crowd favorite – the 650-horsepower MINI Cooper S Drag Racer, custom built by ABF Performance. Marking the MINI brand’s foray into sport drag racing, the MINI – with its 0-60 time of less than 3 seconds, top trap speed of 134 mph and best quarter-mile run of 10.6 seconds – is expected to turn in a lightning-fast performance at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ, on July 25th – 26th.

The 2002 MINI Cooper S has been extensively engineered and tuned by ABF Performance and features carbon fiber doors, bonnet and boot lid. The 650-horsepower engine is derived from a production engine block, crankshaft and cylinder head and is fitted with a custom ABF Performance turbo system utilizing Garrett GT3582R turbocharger. Internal highlights include custom JE Pistons, Carrillo Rods, and an M2 Race CNC-ported cylinder head featuring Supertech Performance valvetrain components. An Aeromotive fuel system with RC Engineering injectors provides the healthy head of race gas while ABF’s own award-winning intake manifold and Motec engine management system tuned by Mynes Performance manages induction duties. On the track, the car achieves a launch RPM of 7,000 and a shift RPM of 9,000 using the factory six speed transmission and Limited Slip Differential, modulated by a Clutchmasters Twin Disc Clutch. Race tires consist of M&H drag slicks that measure 24.5 x 8.5 x 15, inflated to 8 psi. The car is equipped with a full National Hot Rod Association (NHRA)–certified roll cage and weighs a mere 1,800 pounds (without the driver).

I'll have to get a hold of them on the ##'s. They use a Dyno Dynamics dyno which will indicate lower HP than a DynoJet dyno.

WTF??? Are you serious 650 HP? That can't be at the wheels? How in the world are they getting that much power out of that motor? Unless they forged the living snot out of the motor and have one hugh turbo spolling up to 60 lbs!
