The purist in me says Tuned A series. But, just for a bit of serious fun it would have to be a Bike engine.  |

If I was out for all out fun, the onlything Mini I'd have, is a shell... The resy would be a fully customised space frame with a RWD system, and a Chevvy V8 over the back wheels.... - might need a pickup  |

Have driven a Mazda RX8 which has a rotary 1300cc engine equivalent to a 2600cc conventional engine but is the physical size of an A series (or even smaller!) It would be nice to see if that could be transplanted into a Mini.
Can't beat a nicely tuned A series though!
