I was driving home tonight, and this lady in her minivan looks over at me and revs her engine. I was like WTF? It's an early 90's Chrysler Caravan (they were Chrysler in Canada, not Dodge until recently). So I say to myself, what the hell is she trying to do. The light was still red, and her tires squeal as she goes off the line. I come off the line smooth and press my foot to the floor until I hit 4000 or so in second gear. She was about 4 car lengths ahead of me! I stop at the next red light and look over. The van says "turbo" on the side in light blue lettering!

 

Dont mess with a Honda Odyssey... 255 hp That thing can mooooove, especially when its just the driver.

 

Oh, I know!! They're what, 0-60mph in 7.8s? That's sure faster than the 2.5TL

 

Thats about the speed of a stock 1st gen 3.2 TL

 

Is it really? I was under the impression that 3.2 did like 8.2 or so

 

have u ever seen the webiste of the 12 sec dodge turbo minivan here?

LOL

 

Modded 1G Caravans with the 2.5L I4 turbo motor can put a serious hurtin' on stock STis and Evos.

Outside of that, the new Ody is probably the only stock minivan capable of running consistent 15s (with the quickest being the LX model).

 

now i feel sick to my stomach. although i do remember the night i got tromped on by an F250 power stroke diesel. those things are no joke when the turbo spools.

lol that must have been funny as hell

here you go for whomever has not seen this video.

that's too funny...good death

 

8.2 ?

The 3900 pound 1st gen RL does that.

1st gen 3.2 TL is under 3500 pounds. Easily under 8 seconds

 

hahahaa the minivan pwned that camaro!

 

how insulting.... why would neone buy a turbo van?

 

Too do what he did to the camaro and be able to laugh his ass of the entire time. Plus they end up getting those cars for like 600.00 to 1000.00 depending on the person and van.

 

for a little while i believe chrysler was pimping the turbo-4 pretty hard back in the 80s. i wan't to say they did not offer a v6 at the time, but that may not be an accurate statement.

i had an 88 chrysler lebaron turbocoupe when i was in highschool. that thing moved pretty well for it's size. just think, the engine is still the same platform for the srt-4 engine. i could have done some awesome turboswaps if i still had it today. oh well.

swap on a Garrett turbo plus running 25psi and u r

the fastest POS around the town

 

12.651 @ 105.44

bye bye M3 STI EVO Corvette

it is a smoking POS

 

LOL, that minivan in that video was insane!

 

I saw that video before. I wish my dad raced our van when we still had it!

"That's my dad!!" the kid says!

 

I drove a turbo dodge minivan for my summer job back in college, that thing hauled ass once the turbo kicked in.

 

Damn thats what I want to haul the kids around.

 

My mom had an 88 Grand Carovan. It had a Mitsubishi 3.0 v6. Dodge didn't even bother to make their own fuel injection cover or whatever. It said right on it Mitsubishi. I think it made like 150 hp. I remeber when I was with her the salesman was talking about all that horsepower. lol
