Ok..im sitting at a light that seems like it takes forever to change....and this Caravan pulls up beside me and starts revving his engine...im like "WTF?Does this guy wanna race?".I shrug my shoulders at him and then he shakes his head yes.Im like "Okaaaaaaay..."...while we're waiting for the light he's over there revving his engine lightly...it's an older Caravan with a nice non-rice paintjob.When the light turns green we both floor it and we're almost door-2-door alot of the time down to next intersection (long ways away).I start pulling on him JUST slightly...then all the sudden I see him go flying past me pulling like crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Im like "WTF I just got pwned by a Caravan."...when we FINALLY get to the next light we both roll our windows down and he says "So,did you like the 200 shot?"..

 

Was it one of the turbo ones? Sounds like it.

 

It had to have been...I think he liked the look on my face when he said do you like the 200 shot...i was like

 

Yeah, sounds like one of the Turbo Caravans. There's a website for an 11 sec one, I just can't remember the address. Even has a video of a 4th gen Z getting destroyed at the track.

 

OMG you were beat by a turbo 4-cylinder FWD minivan!

 

Hey it had the 200 shot and im not doubting it wasnt a Drag Van (ive seen videos of pro-stock Drag Vans smoke every car on the track )

 

kazaa.com has a beat-up brown turbo caravan smoking a z28. i must admit id fall for it hook line and sinker too.

 

I know someone who has a race 440 stroker in a older dodge van. Its got a sniper kit also.

Do you live in ohio by any chance?

 

wtf, that is craaaaaaaaaazy!! i never knew about turbo vans

 

Welcome to the 80s, where every Chrysler offering was turbo

The famous van belonged to Gus, who died in a motorcycle accident a few years ago:

edit: It's a famous van, not a famous "fan". Damn my typing.

 

Anyone see the video of the turbo Plymouth Reliant SMOKE a supra? THAT is a sleeper.

 

Sure its a sleeper, but it still wouldnt feel like it was cool.......fast, noit cool.

 

not as much as a sleeper as some of those jet powered big rigs (with sleepers) like shockwave 33,000hp
