Ha! Two weeks ago went to test drive a Mini S because thats what I wanted.....
They also had a TT 225 there so we drove that as well. We went in wanting the Cooper S, but the TT blew it away!
And then a week later we own one!
Its not even close, the TT is so much faster.
Maybe they are talking about the 180.

I have one of each
Actually the Mini is for my kids. But the TT is much more of a car in every respect than a 2005 S. Although, before any mods to my 2001 225 TTR, and with a marginal MAF sensor, the Mini felt pretty competitive.

They do offer a "JCW" edition that puts out 207hp....
...a $6300 option that includes an uprated supercharger, modified cylinder head, exhaust, recalibrated ECU, big brakes, etc.
I don't know what kind of 0-60 it delivers, but it could come close to a stock 225, maybe.
Did they mention if it was a JCW (John Cooper Works)?

Even the 180 is faster than the Cooper S
And as someone else mentioned, the Cooper takes FOREVER to build any boost at all. Even the Beetle Turbo S feels faster. Cooper might beat a stock 150HP turbo beetle.
I would say that with both cars bone stock, the cooper may handle better, but a dropped quattro TT would hang with it.
