Your 116i with 104kw at the wheels is impressive! , that means your making about 120kw at the fly-wheel if we take losses at 15% , how do you fair against a cooper S?

Since the power was measured at the hubs, not against rollers, the loss is surely less than 15 percent on our car. I have driven against a few Coopers S, but they have always been further tuned. They usually pull away rather easily on the straights. I did however fight evenly with a heavily tuned Cooper S Works at autoX, since he had problems getting his power down, and plenty of turbo lag.
