I'll put a Mini Cooper S against any of the North American "performance cars" in this thread and kick their asses all over the road in the cones or in a road course. The Cooper takes corners you don't think are possible.

Amen. Motor on.
And while the new Mustang has improved a great deal, it still isn't a superstar in the corners. As far as a Mini only "feeling" fast: I've almost gotten 2 speeding tickets so far in the Cooper S, verses no close calls in 7 years in my Mustang GT. It is waaay to easy to drive it too fast.
And I do look at the speedo on occasion.
Interestingly enough, an on-line automotive magazine (take your credibility shots here) recently compared the new Mustang, the new 350Z and the Mini Cooper S. The
link is here. (I have the PDF file also if you like, although they distribute it for free).
