That's the infamous 12 Sec Astrovan. I've heard of it a few times, and funny thing. I was just thinking of it tonight, as because I saw few of them. Thanks for bringing that up. I was actually just about to look it up too. Nice vid. Late...

Underground_Killah · 01-02-2005, 02:59 AM

yea, i just saw it for the first time tonight... crazy stuff... i had to watch it twice to make sure i wasn't crazy... a 12 sec astrovan... who woulda thunk it.

I like the 9 sec geo...thing takes off like a friggen rocket. I've seen that van vid a few times, its pretty insane too...

thats not an astrovan...thats either a caravan or a town n country...

Bet you wouldn't see that one coming in a street race. I could imagine how a camaro owner would be pissed off.

My first car was a '88 Dodge Caravan. What a POS - my friends and I called it the "ghetto cruiser." It had 245K on it, albeit a rebuilt motor and trans just before I got it.

Even stock, that thing could lay rubber pretty easy. I even beat my friends '90 cavalier with it. Fastest I hit was 115 on the freeway before I became afraid of the severe shaking occuring.

With a worked motor and turboes I could see how it could hit 12's.

So - respect the minivan. I still don't think I could pick any chics with it no matter how fast it is, though.

Cheers.

That is way old news.

That is a Dodge Caravan or a Plymouth Voyager. You could get them stock with a Turbo I. My dad owned a Chrysler Town & Country with the Turbo I. It made a great sleeper. You can take one of those vans and put a few grand into the engine and be in the 12s. When Chrysler turbo-charges a vehicle they don't screw around. In fact there is a guy I know around here that has a 12 second Caravan as well.

You really do have to love that though, fake wood and all. I can't think of a better sleeper.

Hey Poly, what does that Caravan happen to look like by chance? Late...

Polygon · 01-02-2005, 07:29 PM

That would be his van.

CamaroSSBoy346 · 01-02-2005, 08:04 PM

Yea, my neighobors own a brown one..until they blew it up..lol.

i3o2Matt · 01-02-2005, 10:53 PM

this makes me want to get one and get it to go fast...maybe i'll get one and do a project daily driver 13-second minivan....LMAO that would be awesome...
