I know that there are faster/more power full engines in Mini's but just for the pure size of it...

Ah, but it's not a Granny anymore is it - look at all the fabbing that's been done and the new rear end too - all that's left of the original Dagenham Dustbin is the upper body, there's a whole new box section frame underneath and the back end is heavily braced too.
