You don't see originallity like that much these days.. Kudos!

I secretly fear that this will spark an influx of minivans, and the like, at the next Texas Mile. Fastest wood paneled stationwagon, fastest "art" car, fastest motorcycle engine powered ATV, fastest <fill in the blank>.

Yep. I'll bet a dollar to a stale donut that someone's working on a powerful minivan to challenege the title.

Update: a friend just forward the video to his friend Chris, in Georgia, who happens to own the jet engine powered Dodge Caravan shown here:

I was seriously thinking of getting a GT500 this fall, but now I think a Grand Caravan is the hot ticket!!!!

I was actually surprised that it didn't have a limiter at 97-99.

Limiter on them is 120 mph, according to the last magazine test I read on it.

I hope the man card police aren't reading this thread. That post could bring a 90 day suspension.

My sister's 2003ish Honda Odyssey beat my 2000 5.7 Tahoe back in the day. It was embarrassing. LOL!

Not really, because I didn't read the article until after seeing this commercial. It also had me curious how they went over 100 mph in it. It is in the very latest issue of one of the car mags. I even read advertisements while taking a dump.

I took a pic of that plate at one of the C&C meets. It's now my wallpaper on my home computer & on my phone. Funny thing is, I drive a CTS-V and my wife drives a BMW
