Too many stickers, too few seats, too little power, too big a cost. No thanks. If you consider Evolve are doing warrantied upgrades to a standard S to 270bhp for £2.3k its hard to justify.)

If I factor in the £800 + fitting I've already spent on my Downpipe and Intercooler (say a grand all in for argument's sake), P-Torque could give me around 250bhp for quite a lot less less than a total of £2.3K Alex. I think P-Torque take the S up to 250 (depending on 'Cooler etc) and the JCW up to 270-ish (with its stronger engine internals) - with a commensurate increase in Torque. Power and Torque can of course upset the balance a bit on certain roads/surfaces (which is why I'm still swithering!), but I think the hardware on the GP could have handled a decent power hike without too many problems. That's if you believe MINI are giving an accurate power figure. They might have one eye on Insurance levels etc...
