11:10 The bit about the compression ratio is incorrect. The N18B16A, which is the Mini Cooper S motor, actually has a higher compression ratio of 10.5:1. The N18B16C, which is the JCW motor found in the 2013 JCW and GP has a lower compression ratio of 10:1. Presumably this is to safely allow for the slightly higher boost on those models.
7:45 Jaguar XJ12 cameo appearance.
Toe and camber are separate settings. Also the 1st gen was supercharged and not turbocharged.
Came to say the same. Appears kenans tech knowledge is the same as dougs
Adjusting the camber can change the toe when turning
@@arolo1740 toe is adjusted via tie rods. Caster camber via strut plate or eccentric. They are separate settings
I've always liked these. I can't believe they are already 10+ years old.
Doug needs to get one of these. If he still like "quirky", non 6 figure cars.
This is the first mini I ever drove super randomly. Have loved them ever sense
Great review, Kennan! Looks like a very fun car and I really enjoyed hearing the John Cooper and John Cooper Works history.
Kennan said “Surprise Surprise” in a British accent hehe. I love it. Missed you man. Hope you had fun at Amelia Island Concours!
I love the history lessons!!!!
Love my convertible R57
Always do an extra lap on roundabouts
Minis are a blast to drive
I know a guy who has one of these in the hoops he had to jump through to get it... You basically had to know someone at the dealership that was getting one and had to be lucky enough to be the chosen one who got it
So Kennan didn’t get fired?? Good for him
kennan has been friends with doug for years, so it makes sense he gets cut last, but then again he works for cars and bids internally so maybe he was more valuable than alanis in general.
Awesome review, Kennan. Definitely makes me miss my wife’s R56 Cooper S😢
Aww yeahhhh Kennan is back!!!
I love these. So cool!
Matching shorts and seatbelt is pure dedication.
My fiancé has a 2016 Mini Cooper S. It was stock when I met her. Now it will beat a base modelC6 Corvette in a drag race. I convinced her to get the dealer-installed JCW tuning kit. For $1,200, the dealer installed a remote controlled valved exhaust, and an ECU tune. In track mode, the exhaust has some insane pops and bangs.
The JCW tune bumps it up to 211hp, but she added a JB4 on top of that so it should now be pushing close to 270hp at the crank. Upgraded the brakes, and threw on some 18” Enkei 5-spoke wheels with Michelin PS all-seasons. It’s an epic little daily-driver.
That is a lie unfortunately. It will not beat a base C6 in any drag race
@@cls63amgwagon34 Doubt all you want, but I assure you it is very much NOT impossible. I have indisputable video proof. (Beat the Vette 3/4 races, not a one-time fluke) A bone stock 189hp Mini Cooper S has a 1/4 mile time of about 14.4s, while a 2005 C6 Corvette does a 12.7s 1/4 mile. When the Mini is making 90-100hp over stock (conservatively), you should start to see how the Mini might be faster. The corvette is like 400-500lbs heavier than the Mini. Also, I was incorrect when I said 270hp at the crank, it is 270hp at the wheels in its highest setting while running 93 octane (So 300+ at the crank). 300hp 2750lb Mini Vs. 400hp 3200lb Vette. The Vette was a manual, and the Mini is an automatic, so the Vette does have that disadvantage.
My fiancé’s Mini did a 8.4s 1/8 mile @91mph on 91 octane, on a very hot and humid summer day.
@cls63amgwagon34 I don't know about that guy, but I had a dynoed 300 whp R56 that beat anything I came across. It was stripped out and had a carbon hood too.
Fellow GP owner here. Quick correction - that bar in the rear isn't a chassis brace, just a bar to keep contents from flying forward.
Yes..u are correct. Im a GP1 and both the GP1 and GP2 have what looks to be a strut tower brace but isnt and just gives it a more racecar look
there's no way that also isn't supposed to be a chassis brace
How would this compare to a Miata driving experience ?
Minis are really underrated. On paper they are expensive and underperforming. The reality is that the driving experience is special
Why was Alanis King let go from C&B?
no views. no money.
where did you get that information from?
Alanis Instagram haha. Seems to be true
@@Quitenseny niceeee, thanks for sharing the great news with us buddy!
She always annoyed me
Great video! We just had one come through my work last week!
Basically like a 2nd gen veloster turbo
Ahhhhh no more AK! Woot woot!! Thank goodness👍🏻
👏👏👏
it may not have a back seat, but it had a seat in the back
Some seed of Doug inside of Kennan in this episode 😅
Doug why was Alanis fired?
So wonderful she's gone:)
Are you left handed?
Inspiration for me to get my ass out there in my R53 JCW to carve up some canyons!
I am an r53 GP owner...and all GPs are awesome
Each has its own strengths!
Tee eff ell had one of these. Unfortunately Ive followed their series on it. This is a as the french would say “les moann”
continuing the tradition of driving the ultimate before driving the plebian versions
Save the manuals!
Kennan, you are a treasure!
And you sir are an idiot for talking like that.
FINALLY! I missed you, man!
You would.
My ex girlfriend daily drove one of these and used to let me take it racing. Best part of that relationship lol
I’m glad Doug listen and stopped Kennan from reviewing on the main channel after 1 video
The gp1 wasn’t turbocharged it was supercharged
I always check the CnB listing before I finish the video....I'm such a bad person.
sounds exactly like what Doug would say except with a different voice
Hi Kennan! Here's your downvote! :)
Justice For Alanis!!!! ✊🏾
She's awful👎🏼
Justice was served dude. Alanus was fired. 👉🏻
Gimme!
Hi everyone 😫💅
Why is the gas filler on the wrong side?
There's no such thing as the wrong side
😢 save the rear interior 😢
Those hits and scratches won't come off... easily...
facts and figures? what's that?!
Used to have a Clubman. Great car and fun to drive but the engine was made of paper and plastic. Crap BMW
These are crap vehicles for sure. The fact the moron has “modded it”, drops it’s already low value, by 50%, at least
Gp1 was superior.
Hell yeah...im lucky enough to own one!!
Damn that’s a fulll lecture
unsubbing because ya'll fired alanis king
Wait what?! I loved the enthusiasm she bought and how different she was from most car reviewers.
She had to be fired for her clothing choices. She looked absolutely nauseating with that big belly hanging out. 🤢🤮
Her choice of clothing was poor. Don’t wear shorts with those legs and don’t wear shirts that show one’s belly. More like trailer trash taste versus sophistication.
I miss Doug's outdoor car reviews.
The ones in the basement are so boring.
Actually: this is Kennan and this is outdoors. You picked the wrong video to moan, Ma.
@@johnhopkins4920 i know it’s Keenan and it’s outdoors, it’s not the wrong video to comment on, it was the nostalgia reminding me of got much better his videos were when filmed outside
Build quality and reliability are chronic on Mini products. They are made (badly) in Oxford. Avoid.
Actually, the LHD Minis (including all US and Canadian spec) are / were produced at VDL in the city of Born, the Netherlands. Please don’t moan about something you’ve clearly not studied. My advice: stick to JDM cars, jdmgay44!!
@@johnhopkins4920 Nothing more gay than driving a Mini!! 😂 Enjoy your POS Mini John.
Can you guys stop doing the same cars over and over just with different people. I used to watch every single video but now its just getting old
That s ok to me, they have so different takes on same cars, Doug shows more quirks and features when Kennan shows more history of car-brands and - models as well as racing-history too and tells more technical details.
So i like to watch both videos.
This channel and these reviews are for buyers. Watching the last review wouldn't show the same details (like the mods on this one) as the last one. Making buyers able to confidently part with more money when they visit the site to buy it.
Can you just...not. watch. The video? 🫠
@@chrisk.6531 No that's way too easy. He must complain!
I’m pretty sure this generation of Mini John Cooper Works GP has never been reviewed by Cars and Bids or Doug. I watch everything they put out.
Glad you kept the worst reviewer
Wrong he's very good. The worst one has gone now !...
@@alancrisp1582 only an Alan would feel that way
The new ones are complete shit, nothing like the good old classic Leyland minis.
Who ever thought this panty waste was a good idea.
