remember in the italian job remake, when they put several thousand pounds of gold in the back of a mini cooper and then did jumps like it wasn't there weighing more than the car itself
EDIT:
ok, looked it up and apparently I might be the asshole
The weight of the gold recovered from the armored truck, valued at $27 million, would weigh around 4,500 pounds at the period price of gold. It is entirely possible to divide that among three (~1,500 lbs per car) highly modified MINI Coopers and move it around quickly. While it would make the cars quite tail heavy (they would land rear first, at quite an angle when jumped), it is not implausible to modify the suspension to handle the additional weight and increase power to achieve a reasonably quick degree of performance. In fact, we can hear that the MINI Stella drives features the distinctive whine of an Eaton M62 supercharger. The MINIs have a 63/27 F/R weight distribution out of the box. With 1,500 lbs of gold in the rear, the distribution would change to roughly 41/59 and the car would weigh just over two tons.
