Oh, I don't even think a Mini could beat a GT-40 on a Rally course, I was thinking more of a a Sprint or Gymkana (sp). GT-40s are pretty fast! I entered Sprints (which is what they called them by then, a course laid out in a parking lot, marked by plastic cones) in my 997 Mini Cooper, it would do pretty good against Corvetts and walk all over all the Mustangs and suchlike. And a 997 Cooper couldn't even do 90 mph!
