Porsche open to Mini's idea of having a race

Mini is challenging Porsche to a race. It's launched a Facebook campaign to suggest a showdown at the Road Atlanta course, two weeks from now, between its Cooper S model and Porsche's 911 Carrera S. The amusing part, as Jalopnik points out, is that the 172-horsepower Cooper S has all but no chance against the 385-horsepower Porsche 911, unless the Porsche is being driven by an elderly person. (Should the race happen, both brands will select a driver of their choice.)
