2013 Mini Cooper GP. Always been a mini fan, got in a test drive last week and made the deal tonight. Number 361 of 500 in the states. Traded in the 335, will be back in a BMW when the second year of the m3 comes out. Super fun car on the test drive cant wait to mod it. May have been a stupid decision but the 335i just ran out of CPO and I didn’t want to deal with any issues down the road… [![http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x307/e39krazy/IMG_4474_zpsaf435679.jpg](http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x307/e39krazy/IMG_4474_zpsaf435679.jpg)](http://s183.photobucket.com/user/e39krazy/media/IMG_4474_zpsaf435679.jpg.html) ---

Oh my god… I seriously considered trading my Lotus for this a few months ago. I was drooling over the 2 they had in their lot. I want another MINI so bad and the GP2 is so perfect (the red hood scoop lip stick sticker needs to go though IMO). The suspension and brakes are already perfect, all it needs are some new wheels and an intake. If possible, I’d really like a ride in this someday. I’m super jealous if you can’t tell. My JCW is the only car I’ve ever had that I regret selling. I can’t wait to see what MINI does with the next gen’s 2.0L JCW engine. ---

Looks sweet but, I am confused by the title. The fastest production what? ---

I would assume the fastest production Mini Cooper. Simular to the skinniest fat chick, or tallest midget. Slower then the car he is trading in, but fast for a Mini. ---

Nice man. The GP is really nice. I have to admit I loved driving my Cooper S, it was a really fun car for around town. Edit. Gotta love cars that come with a strut bar from the factory instead of back seats :tup: ---

Yes that is true it is slower than my 335i but it handles way better and is more fun to drive.
