The Sienna hit 0-60 in 7.6, so that should give you an idea. Any 400 shouldn't have a problem, 5MT 300's in a good state of tune will pull on it and so should an auto 300 <----if not in the beginning then definitely on top end.

Yep, minivans go long way these days. I didn`t get SC3 so guy in the camry don`t outrun me. I didn`t count sienna though. It kinda sucks...

Wow!! I didn't know the sienna ran that fast. With a custom turbo kit, or NOS, the sienna would be a perfect sleeper. It's civic hunting time!!

If I'm correct, a 94+ integra gsr runs 0-60 in 7.6 sec and 1/4 in 15.7 sec. If the sienna can run 0-60 in 7.6 sec, it should be able to run high 15's. With a 80 shot nitrous, it's enough for the sienna to scare any stock mustang gt's and hondas ( even our lexus'). Beware of soccer mom's in siennas.

Thankfully they're still 240HP @ 5500 and 242ft/lb @ 4500 - but those are some damn good numbers. If they give them anymore power we'll be in serious trouble...LOL

i couldn't agree with you more. It hurts a little to see so many cars out there with such potential right from the getgo than our cars. the Odysey number are failry close to the 92-95SC4 number 250HP and 260TQ.
revisiting those numbers... we are already in trouble.
