Cooper SD VS Cooper S! Battle of the MINI's 💪
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
A couple of weeks a go we took the long drive down to Castle Combe for a private @vboxautomotive track day where we put our Diesel Mini Cooper SD head to head with the @badboytuning4953R56 Cooper S Petrol.
The question is, which came out on top?

Love it!! Really want to book mine in for some work, just shame your so far away 😑😅
Great comparison and looked good fun. Interesting that Ryan's lap times were pretty close between the two cars.

@@DarksideDevelopments I heard you’re giving out free darkside hoodies to your biggest fans to celebrate, is there any truth in that? 👀 Btw, I’ve had your live sub count open on my phone browser for the last week since I noticed it was 99k, now that’s dedication! (Or boredom, who knows) 🤣

Haha, come see us at the track one day for a passenger lap and if you ask nice we might have a Hoodie!
Belle vidéo 👌 😉. Super 👌 👍
I want to be next to challenge the diesel beast🏁
Bad boyy👍🔥
The devil's fuel 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Interesting comparison, thought they'd be close. Is yours just over-braked? Sounds like it would definitely be faster otherwise. I have the supercharged version with the same power as the R56, but nowhere near the torque of these, would love to try the diesel though!

We can do a swap one day, would like to test a race version, the chassis is so good. The pads are way too much at the front and the ABS just shits itself.

That sounds great, would definitely take you up on that! Always wanted to drive one of your diesels since I did TDC in 2019. You'd love the R53, you've got to work it a bit more to get the lap time, but it's great fun. Reckon yours would be a right weapon if you could sort the brakes out.
Reyt then
😎😎🤙👍🔥🔥 best mini darkside
Is it worth removing the ABS to take it out of the equation? Or would that be worse?

I think we just need a less aggressive pad, it was better before.
Wow one can see the size difference between a F56 and R56, I once showed guys the size different between a R50/2 and a R56 at a meet once and they couldn’t believe how much bigger the R56 was now it looks tiny compared to F56, and a F56 looks small against a older Countryman

Tbf the r50 and r56 chassis is pretty much the same, they are just a bit chubbier.
Why are the harnesses crossed over in there’s bit dangerous ?

Schroth recommend it
Why did you have a passenger in the SD & not the S? Less weight is clearly going to get you a better time.

He wasn't going for better lap times during that run, just wanted to see what it felt like
Why did Wayne two person your car when you were on your own driving his? OK know it probably makes sod all difference really but he was carrying the extra weight in your car. Do you think if he went out on his own his time would have been closer to your time in his car?

He didn't think he would beat my time but we only had the driver when we did the battle between our own cars
👍🤙
I hate to say it but the Cooper SD actually sounded better. This is an absolute outrage and I'll be writing a strongly worded letter to my MP😂 But in all seriousness, the SD goes a lot better than expected, I think it was hard to tell in the older videos about it because it wasn't put up against a similar power/weight car. The torque out of the corners is where this thing wins every time, it seems to hook up and go!

Fair assessment, you win a free passenger ride
Well the cooper s looks and sounds nicer, but he's way more skint by the end of the track day 🤣

You should compare 2.0 petrol vs 2.0 diesel

1.6 petrol engine is lighter than 2.0 diesel
Well what wins is that the Diesel is able to go several laps more before having to re-fuel 👌
Diesel for the winmm, all day with diesel
Mr badboy tuner ain't much of a badboy driver is he 😅
Reyt then: turbo diesel wins!
