Wow. Is this real life?

Kinja'd!!!

(Not the car for sale)

A !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! with 3,596 miles for $29,584. When it was new, only one year ago, MSRP was $40,000, so it depreciated by a quarter in one year?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

2000 were made and only 500 came to the US, so it will be a collector car someday and will hopefully appreciate. I have to say, I'd rather have this over a FoST or a FiST (sorry!).

NPoCP?

I'd MUCH rather have this over my Fiesta. Holy mother of want! I love me some special/limited editions.

Crack pipe. If you want a fast, track related Mini, get a very nice R53 for $10k or a very nice R56 (I think that's the newer S one) for $20k and spend the rest on mods for both.

If you just want a hot hatch, why not new GTI, Focus ST (with Recaros), or Mazdaspeed 3?

If you just want something quick, why not lightly used Mustang GT, Camaro SS Subaru WRX, Evo X...

There are tons of better options for the money. I mean, it's $30k for a mini that isn't even that fast (in the scheme of things).

I almost want this over my C30. Maybe C30 for DD and this for a track/autocross car, because that's what it's meant for. :)

Ignore people that say it isn't "fast". In the right hands, it damn well is. On a tight, twisty and technical track, a 370Z will find it difficult to keep up. However, it really is restricted to the track only - it doesn't even have rear seats!

Yup and those tires are street legal, but recommended for the track. It might not be that much faster on the road than the regular JCW, but I feel like it would be ridiculous on a short, low speed track.
