Make the Imp engine Vs Mini engine interesting - equal minimum weights and capacity cap of 1000cc, naturally aspirated, other engine mods free.

Re: imps vs mini shootout
Are we talking the white stiletto with the chevy big block? I've been told it's an ex funny car engine that's pushing near 1000bhp on a bad day

Re: imps vs mini shootout
from experience of rallying round the Alps with Imps and Minis, the 1000cc Mini is no match for the 998cc Imp on the road, the 998 is more matched to the 1275. You'd be better, and fairer to run an 875 Imp against a 1000cc Mini.
