Dude, your van ain't hittin' no 5 seconds, bro.
More like 10. And that's no lie.
I drove a '90 Grand Caravan (3.0L V-6, 140hp) for a while, and it was definitely
a burnout machine at any street corner...but it definitely was slower than
everything , even my friends '85 Sentra Wagon with a 5-speed.

On the other hand, I did recently watch a Pro/Mod Chevy Astro run 4.65s in the
1/8 mile at Kil-Kare Speedway in Xenia, Ohio. But even that wasn't a real van.

I like that red GTA...
 
I've got a '91 Cadillac Sedan DeVille, the ultimate sleeper car. Complete with dented doors, hood, and a smashed in rear bumper, and 224 horsepower and 280 ft/lbs of torque, stock.

I just need to go get my license so I can drive it legally.
 
this is a 93 grand caravan 3.3 liter v6 so its different </sarcasam>

it has basically a new engine in it because the old one kept braking down and I'm telling you its fast I'll try to get a vid of it accelerating
 
My family is starting to get my car in order now. My grandpa's will stated that his '96 Sebring JXi Converitble be left to me, so now it is in the mechanic's shop getting all the standard checks since it has been sitting in a parking garage since 2000. Looks like it will need new brakes, possible new tires, and lots of work on the paint, it appears my grandpa had lots of minor collisions while parking in that garage (real tight in there). I'll pobably end up selling it in the future, but my parents are going to pay for a couple months insurance on it for the rest of the summer once it's all fixed up, so it looks like I could have a car to drive for a while :D
 
I absolutely adore my cars! I have a 1995 Honda Prelude VTEC (green) and a 1992 Cadillac Seville (blue). I'm looking into buying a 2001-02 BMW M3 sometime in the near future as well!
 
Nissan R31 Skyline is the car I drive

Recently fitted with a set of extractors, a 2.5 inch exhaust and a brand new K&n air filter

This is my humble, humble '99 Chevrolet Corsa (in Brazil, GM uses the Chevrolet brand name instead of Opel). It´s a 1.0 liter, 60hp inline-4 engine. Not powerful, but very smooth and comfortable... It has everything (air conditioning, power windows and central locking, dark windows, a powerful sound system with a Pioneer CD/MP3 player and Sony Xplod speakers) except power steering, but it´s already so light, I don´t need it.

I LUV IT! :dopey:

My girlfriend is currently driving a Smart ForFour 1.3 Pulse, which is a really great little car. But it's only temporary and soon she'll get a brand new Opel Corsa Maxx 1.4 16v, which seems to perform rather the same but does have powersteering, airconditioning, and even cruise control. Quite a lot of luxury for such a small car. The Corsa is one of the most common cars you see on the road over here, which is probably why we both think we like the Smart ForFour a lot better ... I'm just hoping it will be a 5 door version like this Smart, because that's so much more practical.

All in all though, I love the small cars. They're fun to drive, pretty nimble because they're so light, and even at low speeds they feel fast (used to be because of lack of comfort, but recently mostly because they are :D).

I'm still working on getting my licence - pretty strict affair to get one over here. I do have a fun training car though, an Alfa 156 2.4jtd. :)

It's so unfortunate that GM of Brazil and Opel don't share their complete Corsa line-up... Here, we miss the Combo, that would be an excellent competitor for the Fiat Doblò, the Citröen Berlingo and the Renault Kangoo. And you guys in Europe miss these versions that we have here...

The sedan's boot is fantastic, even bigger than Vectra's and Omega's...
The pick-up version (called Montana) is a Brazil-only model... I wonder if it would be successful over there...

Just though I'd let you all know I'm still driving my speedy and fantastic stock SEAT Ibiza.
 
Its an Aussie car, 4 door Silouhette, RB30 engine, will take some pics of it in the near future after it gets the rear repaired (A dip**** reversed into it while it was parked where I work:mad: )
 
Ahh the Aussie spec R31 RB30E Skyline Silhouette, I had one briefly not a bad car, much better than a equivalent Commodore IMO (VL). I am currently considering buying a HR31 import because how much I enjoyed the Aussie R31.
 
I saw recently in the "Victorian" trading post a R31 with a RB25DET conversion for $6400, highly tempting, some if I actually had some $$$, I would have bought it, had a 5 speeder in it also


I agree with the comment about the Commodore also, IMO Commodores are like arseholes....

That and they dont get "noticed" as much as the VL's do
 
A RB25DET is a great conversion for it, and if the car is in good condition thats not a bad price. Its great if that was a RB25DET gearbox because they dont come cheap $1100+.

Although HR31's goes for around that price now the 15yo rule is in, so thats why I am highly considering one for everyday use.

Are you considering to do anything to your R31?

I would like to stick a '25 in it along with a 5 speeder also, its just a matter of getting the $$$ together

That would be good, problem is a complete RB25DET and gbox are quite expensive compared to a RB20DET package. The 25's gbox is so strong which makes it so expensive..... good luck

Keep in mind Lancer Evolutions do the 0-60 in 5.0 seconds.
