Raced a Mustang GT the other day. I just wanted to see how the MINI would hold up.... Yah, He ate me up! But... in no way did he lose me. I held my own. He was very impressed. He thought he was going to leave me in the dust. Give me a road course and I would kill that Mustang!!!

Take it to the track before you injure yourself, or more importantly, someone else.
That being said, the skill of the driver (assuming manual transmissions) is more important than the amount of power/weight being put down. Anyone can slam down their foot on the loud pedal, it takes skill to powershift properly.
