The guy's site is http://www.turbovan.net/ and yeah, it would make me want to take my car to the inner city and leave it there overnight with the keys in it if he beat me. I respect it, but part of me still asks why

LMAO!!!! I just watched the video. That camaro got spanked! OMG If that happened to me I'd start riding my bike to work everyday. I wouldn't even want anyone to know I owned a car.

no one else has done it, eh?

sorry to bring a dead topic back, but I just HAD to respond. I talked to Paul not too long ago (owner of the van in question). he says hi.

Why do we do it?

As seen on www.turbominivan.com (http://www.turbominivan.com/why.htm):

Because it's fun and the factory made it easy for us! Many people don't know this, but in 1989 and 1990 these minivans were available with turbocharged 2.5L four cylinder engines. That's right, factory-built turbo minivans! These engines are actually pretty darn stout right out of the box and they take to performance upgrades very well; maintain a proper air/fuel ratio and you can run 25+ pounds of boost on the stock block, crank, rods, and pistons!

If you're looking for the ultimate in sneaky inexpensive speed, look no further.
