Mini Cooper S vs. Ford F250

So last night I'm at a stop light, and I'm about to turn onto the service road to go east on 635 off of midway. Now I'm at the turn light before going under 635. An F250 pulls up next to and starts revving his engine, as if to race. We're talking about racing 20 feet. The Mini has 162 pounds of torque versus the F250's jesus what 400 pounds at least? of course he is gonna take the 20 feet. So he does right, and I'm behind him. Here is the part of the story why handling is becoming way more important then straightline. He accelerates in that big *** truck and of course has to make a huge turn. The guy barely made it to the middle lane. Thats when oppurtunity struck. Before he tries to get in the right lane, the Mini was far in front of him . The moral of this story is who CARES if a car can beat you with like 50 feet. For those who crave the torque that the RX8 lacks, go be like everyone else and buy a mustang GT. But truly great handling cars like the Mini, Lotus Elise, RX8, MX 5 are cars that only their light weight bodies can match in handling.

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Racing with an idiot on 635 is even stupider.. be careful and read the rules.
