LMAO, I was in my friends minivan a few nights ago, and we raced a Civic. It was a 94 Plymoth Voyager vs. a 96 Civic. We won by a few carlengths. Just thought I'd share that, because I think it's funny as Hell!

Hehehe...we used to have a 93 Plymouth Voyager with the 3L V6. We kept it around much like people keep an old truck around to haul things.

LOL...I actually enjoyed driving it...for a minivan it had a mean low-end!

yeah, some of the newer minivans aren't that slow, so i'm not that surprised it could take on the POS (albeit stock) Civic. I mean, come on! :D

Yeah, we Used to have a chevy astro.. It wasnt bad.. for a van.

Anyways If you romped on the go pedal, it would spin for a good 50 feet, and it had mean pickup, I think It could actually compete with the stock 240's

(The astro was a small v-8)

We used to have fun in the wintertime, cause it was the only rwd vehicle we owned at the time.. Oh the memories.

My first vehicle was a 90 Ford AeroStar XL! That van kicked A$$!! It was totally loaded, completely pimp, and had a very spunky V6 and decent acceleration for an auto. Ah man I can't even begin to explain how many times that van got me la.... never mind.. let's just say the ladies loved the tinted windows and ample "cargo room" in the rear.

My old man owned it, but gave it to me because he had his company car.... black Taurus SHO.... **drool**

It was RWD with an LSD... I can't say that I ever really raced anybody in it.... but it was damn fast for a van. At the time... one of my female friends that lived down the street had a Trooper II. We both had a 1/2 hour drive to high school, so we always flew through traffic right next to each other... and my van could totally smoke her standard transmission Trooper.

Huh.... yeah.... they're tough until about 40K miles... then they start to rattle, shake, and fall apart. My family used to be entirely fords.... then we started to lean towards the jap vehicles.... my brother got a Toyota.... I got my first Mazda... then we somehow all ended up with Nissans!

Heh... we have a 99 caravan, and a 2000 focus... my dad is buying the G35 sedan, and my uncle is got the G35 coupe... (he said he would let me take it for a spin **bonus**) but my dad and my uncle are slightly competitive... it looks like he might add a little bit of aftermarket goodness, to be competetive with the Coupe.. im thinking twin T28? :)

Edit: Great pic!
