I'd like to see how they stuffed that in there. You'd think if you did that, the supercharger would really just be overkill.  |

well, the link has been deleted. I wonder if that has anything to do with an email I sent asking them how I could "Trust the Pros" as there ad says if their "pros" were crazy enough to try to sell a MINI as a "super charged V8 with a 6 speed automatic" I don't think the 6-speed auto even came out til 2nd gen. not sure on that one though. LOL |

First year for the 6-speed automatic was '06. It used an Aisin transmission.

My 05 has a 6-speed auto, so they must have come out a wee bit sooner than 06. |
