I could do nothing else but laugh loudly (in shame) at myself the whole way to the trolley. Either I never do something like that for the rest of my entire natural life, or I make this car decently quick.
I guess I never really understood how NOT fast these cars are stock... either that or there is something seriusly wrong with my piece o' junk. It was at stop light, a courtesy van from a dealership with a wangsta lot porter in it... the day I lost all pride in my car... We will never forget

I'm confused.

I would say that he raced a Honda Odyssey hotel shuttle van and got destroyed. Shameful indeed.

My Blog

it was a dealership van huh.

your cars stick right? If its auto then I can see this....stick you shoulda been able to kill him so hard off the line no matter how much hp his honduhs packin he couldn't catch up.


or did VTECH KICK IN YO!?

edit: when i was auto minivans owned me all day, whether they knew it or not LOL.

stick, i can beat a lot of v6 cars with more hp, i've even kept up with a v8 until we hit about 60 then he blew me away. I'm still waiting to go to the track for numbers.

n/a auto is pretty damn slow. i think i ran an 18.5 or something lol.

ah the days of being beaten by minivans, seems they weren't that long ago. I used to deliberately leave from a light slowly and quietly if there was someone next to me because I didn't want them to think I was actually trying if they heard my exhaust, lol. It worked good for my mpg

I suppose you now have some inspiration to boost the car

This was a brand spanking new van, it even had rims on it. Ive been smiling all day just thinking about this, and yes I tried to "race" the van, the lil "homie" gave me the "lets do it look" so I said fuck it, the whole thing lasted less than a block though. I dont even want to check my compression in fear there might be something horribly wrong.

EDIT: Yea im stick, so I dont know, Ill just try not to think much of it. Maybe I just suck at life?

Theres nothing wrong with your car. My moms Windstar would blow my car out of the water when it was n/a.

hmm, but some other peeps say I should be able to pull on it easy...weird. I did figure that to lug that kind of weight around a mini van needed to have some pretty decent torque no? Any who, that kinda makes me feel better Destruck, I dont think a mini van, or in that case 80% of cars could pull on your GSX in this town... so long as it runs as for now, you moms contour is walking your GSX Save up and get it fixed F0o! Then we can go rematch this Minivan-riding-Honda-working wangsta SOB! Then We'll show him who's boss!

take your subs out if you have em, remove the spare tire and anything else from the back, fill it with 93 octane, and find that van again. guarantee you walk him :-P

My car feels (thru the butt dyno) so much slower with all that shit in my hatch and 87 octane. But I'll nkow for sure what my cars capable of doing this saturday if its sunny, im going to the track, finally, BANME!!!!

When are you kids going to learn you have an overweight Dodge Neon?

Edit: And EclipseSix, did you seriously just recommend he put 93 octane in a non-turbo 2.0 to get a performance improvement?!

Word. Or, you just suck at driving.

Yup, that is a major possibility. Quit with the stupid ricer boy shit, and be able to keep your license and get better though

Lol hating on the n3wbs Dsmyth? It's ok. Qwerty is a local friend of mine, I refered him here, as for noboost....

Who the Fudge are YOU?

Anywho, Dsmyth is right, I need to stop "racing", but it was weird because I usually dont, I dont know why I did it.

This reminds me of a thing that happened a few days ago. My friends were coming home from a concert in ottawa, when they pull up to a stop light at midnight, no one is around an an empty OC transpo bus pulls up to them. my frend was reving his plymith voyagers engine at the bus so the bus driver reved back. they raced and the bus acctually won. I laughed so hard. when they got to the next stop light the bus driver poped his colar and drove off haha.

yup. Big trucks can carry some punch, I almost jiz my pants when I hear the big ass turbos on big transport vehicles, and imagine how much power it could make on a passenger car.

i cant believe im reading a thread where people are actually giving hints on how to beat a minivan! i dont ever recall mine being that slow.

and 93 in a stock 2gnt is as useless at tits on a bullfrog

I'm not guaranteeing a 5-10 hp boost from the gas, I'm not even saying there is any gain. I feel a gain, but I won't be the last to admit that it could all be in my head. But a more explosive gas making 1 or 2 more hp? Is that not feasible? (if it isn't, then jsut say so cuz i'm not an authority on it)

and i guess the poster above has a point, none of this is gonna make a big difference. What you logically should be checking is all the vitals of the car, make sure nothing is drastically taking power away from you.

at the same time its worth a shot for you to do whatever possible, cuz minivans aren't faster then na 2gs :-\

i have a van!
