OK
So let me get this straight, we buy a Ferrari & tune it to run like a mini?
Jack, almost correct;
We buy a Ferrari motor, put it in a Mini which is not capable of doing 230mph because of aero dynamic constraints and poor brakes, but we will can accellerate from 0 to 60 in 1.8 seconds wich is even twice faster than the original Ferrari chassis.
This is seriously how it works and how e.g. XTweaks (in XXHighEnd settings) these days co-operate with these settings.
FYI, investigate the Stealth PC. These days that goes out with preferably an 28 core processor while tuned down to 500MHz. Say that its accelleration speed is obtained by using 28 cylinders instead of 4.
Btw in the UK there are far too many Mini's by now. It must be the best selling car ever.
