Also an excellent sleeper:
89 Dodge Caravan. Came from the factory with a turbo-charged 2.5L 4 cyl. These are stout engines and can make pretty hefty hp numbers for stupid cheap - enough to push a van into the
12's. I kid you not. I came across them on another forum I was on way back. They called them flying bricks. Imagine with me if you will: cruising along in your hideous 1989 of a POS van with fake wood paneling jamming to your Whitesnake cassette, when you pull up next to <insert just about any sports car here> at a stop light. You look over, I mean down (you are in a minivan) at the hipster/redneck/pop-collar/college kid/rich dude/whatevs in the previously stated sports car, and you goose the throttle a little, and give him a head nod - "sup." He's thinking, haha, very funny. You goose it again. He's like alright, imma show this douche in a EFFING MINI VAN WTF what's up. Light turns green, you roast the front tires, find traction, and are gone. Just flat gone. Hipster/redneck/pop-collar/college kid/rich dude/whatevs is left staring at your tails, mouth open wide enough to drive a train through, as the reality of what just happened sets in. Pownzer'd by a mini van. Yup. This was a bad day.
