Quick Question....?

Postby Luckiee's Son » Fri Sep 05, 2008 12:55 am

Just wondering, does anybody know the difference between a 'Supercharged' and a 'Turbo Charged'? I think they stopped making Supercharged in like, 2006, right? ANYWAY, anybody got an answer??? :) Thanks!

Supercharged hardtop Cooper S last year was 2006. 2007 and forward Cooper S are the new turbocharged motor, dubbed the R56.

Convertible Cooper S final year for Supercharged will be 2008, with the 2009 Convertible taking on the shape of the new R56 and its turbocharged based engine.

All years of 2002 Cooper and forward are normally aspirated, no chargers ;)

OK, I don't really know what the difference between a Cooper (S or non-s) and an R56 is???? :)

We can talk about it this weekend with live demos to show you the difference, since we'll have pretty much all the models of Mini represented on the trip :)

Haha, I've never even riden in a hardtop! I sat in Mark's Clubman at the pulley party, but never actually rode in it! My goal for this trip is to ride in a Hardtop, an R56, a Clubman, and test out AJ's windscreen to see what a difference it makes! :D :D :D
