That's a pretty damn funny car to make fast. The funniest car I saw once was a Ice Cream truck that did a ridiculusly fast 1/4. everybody at the track was bustin up laughing.

Careful you don't step in the bullsh!t....


370hp in a 3900+lb VAN is going to beat a 350hp, 3350lb corvette? You are so full of crap. You sure he was racing?

Umrswimr, you should note the difference between hp and fwhp. I don't find it that hard to believe...it's amusing as hell, but not hard to believe.

Actually, 370fwhp would be close to 440hp at the crank... So that's a 90hp advantage (I'm pretty sure a C5 doesn't put down 420lb-ft of torque... or does it ) and no more than 450lbs heavier... Not to mention the wet road...



Considering we only raced to 125mph (not 185 ), the aerodynamics of the minivan wasn't that large factor. It's no Enzo, but it's not asbad as you keep telling yourself.

First off, I would probably sell my Z06 the next day if a minivan ever smoked me.

Next thing, why in HELL would you put so much horsepower into a minivan?!


Other than the obvious pulling up next to 'Vettes and Cobras and having them laugh at you only to spank them a few seconds later, but after the novelty of that wears off you still have a 370fwhp minivan at the end of the day. Heh.
