Let's see... the Mini Cooper S (160 HP) has a 0-to-60 time of 8.4 seconds, and does the quarter mile in 16.6 seconds. And our GT's can go 0-to-60 in 5.1 seconds, with a quarter mile time of 13.5 seconds.
This is from one source, so numbers may vary from source to source.

I say smoke his ***, then just grin and drive off as the wind whips through your blonde hair.
As you mention your car is STOCK and his is the Top of the Line MINI
I am glad I bought my clears from New Edge Peformance for $80. Look at these that sold on

It's a race to the Saleen Short Throw Shifter! 
This is exciting!
(edit)
Guess I win...
Couldn't wait, so I just placed my order via phone. Unfortunately, Saleen goes to the same school of shipping as Steeda; they can't tell me what the shipping cost is until it ships!
Their lame excuse was that they don't know what carrier it'll end up with (UPS, Fed Ex, blah.. blah). They expect it to ship out Friday, so I guess I'll call back then to see what my total is. Steeda pulled the same crap when I ordered the Ultralites. I'm at their mercy, what to do...
Good new for you guys is that they have several in stock.

Ha! I drove it lastnight to my monthly club drive-in so the stock shifting is fresh in my mind. Attached is a pic from one of the guys there, taken from his camera phone.
At the drive-in lastnight, a columnist from Motor Trend was there with his 05 or 06 GT. He had it completely striped of its paint and had it shot in Highland Green!
Sorry, no pics. But, I think it's in one the recent issues of Motor Trend.
Shaker is due in today. I'm ready.
Hope you feel better Tom.

Rivet question (for the Shaker trim rings)...
Was this easy to do? Rivet holes from the inner and outer trim rings line up perfectly?

Daryl- I tried to heat up that rear section lip below the license plate in attempt to close the small vinyl gap right at the corners.
Attempt backfired at me!
There must have been some moisture in the corner crevices because larger bubbles started to suddenly appear! I tried to move them into and out of the corners, but some still remain. I should've not messed with it in hindsight.
I don't have the time to let the stripes 'bake' in the sun, as most of these pesky bubbles will probably lay down on their own. I may have to start popping them by pin.
How are your stripes doing?
