Total Sleeper!!!

Personally I wouldnt spend 7k on that thing. But it does stand out tho. At the street or track, nobody is going to care bout a Viper, Supra, or even a Civic runnin 10s-13s because it is so common and expected. But when u bring out a crappy lookin mini-van that will run 12s, then yea its going to shock alot of people

you guys are missing the point, its not supposed to be a clean stylish car. The whole point is to have a daily drive car that looks like a plain jane POS but will blow the doors off most cars it meets. The guy wanted to do something different and unexpected, he didnt want to impress his yuppy friends.

I wonder how fast a miata would run if it had 400HP? Alot faster than that van I'm sure. Especially if you took all the interior out and just had a basic race car with one or 2 seats.

This dude is obviously looking for attention really bad to want to spend that much cash on a crappy old van like this. If he did this for himself as a daily driver, he'd would've picked a nicer vehicle to start with. A rattly 12sec really old van is not a very reliable, comfortable or economical ride. It's all good tho, whatever gets him through the day. Beats hangin out on web forums taking cracks at someone elses style when one can be the subject of discussion. He's a good role model.

I might need to cut some room and get some better shocks and suspension lol, that thing can only hold so much.
