Got owned by a Dodge minivan!!

**HillBilly** · 05-12-2003, 01:03 PM

My buddy (GSXR 600) and I (Hayabusa) were cruising down the #1 highway headed back to SK and all of a sudden this Dodge minivan blows by us. We were doing 165km/h at the time!! I couldn't let this happen! So I sped up and pulled right beside him. The crazy asshole was doing 180km/h, in a minivan!! I have never smelt such a foul smell in my life. I think that the engine was ready to give up. Congrats to the guy that got a minivan going that fast.

lol thats hilarious, was it the older turbo model??

i guess the new 255hp ones could get that fast, but why would you want to??? kinda dumb if you ask me

yea, some minivans can haul pretty good but I think it's dangerous because they're not very aerodynamic and cross winds can pull them pretty bad. Plus they don't have as low a center of gravity as sports cars and the suspension isn't built for that kind of driving. Gotta love the crazy soccer parents.

It wasn't a turbo. It looked like a 1994-1996. They were only offered with a 3.0 v6 or a 3.3 v6. Possible engine for a civic swap. Who needs JDM when we have Caravan power!!

damn, should have thought about that before i went and spent all that money

94 and 96 are 2 different gens..96 the 4th gens came out
91-5 is 3rd gens..but they are pretty decent vans

My mom has a 96 with the 3.3. I have gone around 190 a lot of times. Suprisingly stable but the brakes are terrible and have really bad fade at those speeds. They are by no means fast but they can get up there.

i got the old beater to top out at around 150 on a slight downhill

Maybe the smell was eminating from his pants, that would be a good explination for why he was going so fast!

They arnt that slow dude. I had my moms windstar at 160 with pleanty left. and it got there quicker than some 89 civic could (long time ago when i was 16 and very dumb)

hahah sweet i learned how to drive on one of the super old turbo models it was great!!!

**rhizzle** · 05-13-2003, 09:35 AM

haha those old turbos had some balls. My sister drove one for a bit. Now i drive a van too, i think its gonna happen to my bro aswell, first ride is a van!! haha. My Astro is pretty sweet, but being the boxiest of the bunch its not great vehicle to be in when your doing 160! Thats all i can get to then the chip stops me.

**Spawn** · 05-13-2003, 04:16 PM

I drive a 94 Dodge Van for work. Its not bad at all, but I've never had it upto 180km/h before. I usually want to keep it under 140km/h

**Dj_Stylz** · 05-13-2003, 06:09 PM

what colour was the van??

**cocoabrova** · 05-13-2003, 06:12 PM

That one that runs at SS hits low 14's I think

**Dj_Stylz** · 05-13-2003, 06:14 PM

Hmm what color and how many people in it??

**HillBilly** · 05-14-2003, 06:57 AM

It was blue/grey and it had tint so I couldn't count how many heads were in it. The encounter happend at about the Saskatchewan/Alberta border heading east.

**EacydeLude** · 05-14-2003, 09:28 AM

HaHa, when I was in germany this past year, I was crusing on the autobahn at about 160 km, and I looked in my rear view and saw these lights coming up quickly, so I pulled over, to my suprise it was a dodge minivan and he blew right past us.

You should have just drafted behind that wall and saved a lot of gas.
