Yeah for real, not everyone adores F Bodies like we do, some people like fast cars no matter what skin is around the drivetrain. I would rock a turbo Mopar van ANY day of the week.

Is that the same minivan that smoked that silver z28 years ago at the track? lmao That was great and he hauled the kids to and from the track in it. The guy in the camaro just drove right out of the gates after getting his *** handed to him by a old guy in a minivan. Classic ownage right there.

I had one and it was the ****. I bought it for $20 dollars and it was my first car, turbo 1990 dodge caravan. NO it was not fast haha it barely made it up hills but putting beanbags chairs in the back of that thing and running the ***** off of that thing for two years with no problems was awesome. Hitting shopping carts, offroading, running into deer, and not to mention the benefits with the ladies. I loved that car. Just look at this bitch and tell me you wouldn't have fun with it haha.

F-bodies/LSx cars aren't the only fast cars in the world holmes. Chrysler made a turbo minivan from the factory, the most likely put a bigger turbo, and all their listed mods on it, gutted it, and it spanked that ****. Pretty cool in my opinon, plus they probablay spent a whole lot less on the total vehicle than the kid in the Cobalt did.

I would rock it not just for the fact that it's the ultimate sleeper, but the amount of **** you could haul and the things you could do with ladies if you were in a bind.

If it is the same infamous van, then it would be turbovan.net

I met the dad and son at the track a few years ago and saw it run a 12.5 with my own eyes.

It's not the same van...Chrysler made plenty of turbo mini vans, there's more than one fast one running around just to let you guys know..

There's a guy on club gp that has a Pontiac mini van. Intercooled turbo 3800 in that thing. Runs low 13's-high 12's. Full weight with a system. On 18's also. Looks nice, for a mini van.
