JUST A QUICK KILL STORY

[Green_Monster]

My buddies dad pulls next to me at a light on the way into town the other night. I have 4 other people in the truck with me (I figure about 700 lbs. of people other than me) and it's just him and his wife in his Chrysler Pacifica. I knew he didn't stand a chance, but I couldn't let him think he could actually take a Silverado in that smushed down minivan!

 

He was reading my license plate within 2 seconds. His first question when we got out of the vehicles 10 minutes later was: "What the hell do you have in that thing!?"

My wife's car is a Pacifica Limited. It is slower than molassis. What was this guy thinking. The 3.5L is way underpowered for the vehicle size. You need a country mile just to pass someone. When I'm driving her car and I pull up to a light, the last thing on my mind is a race. I want to be unnoticeable.

Dodge caravans are actually alot quicker then pacificas (I know they're slow). I drove my dad's '05 and by no means would it ever challenge my pickup, but it can hold it's own against the econoboxes. Only problem with them is they have a hard time towing *anything*. He has a 3,000lb boat/trailer and the van weazes and struggles in 3rd where my half ton barely feels it is even there.

If you want to call it a race.

 

We were just having some fun, but the odd thing was that he owns a 1999 Silverado. He should have known he didn't have a chance.

Thats awesome. I understand, funs fun. This actually reminds me of my best friend who raced a Ford Winstar a few years back. He had a 99 RC Flareside F150 2wd w/ 4.6l & some mods (K&N & Flows), and he raced my buddy in his moms Ford Winstar. Well we dusted the Winstar...but the minivans governor was higher than the F150's, which was 98 I beleive. We were cruising along at close to 100 laughing our asses off, then out of no were the minivan kinda just calmly passes us. That same day we went to a close by truck store and he ordered a hand held Diablo tuner because of the speed governor. He was so pissed.

I use to do the same thing in my old '95 Grand Prix (3.1 and no mods) to some trucks and SUV's. They would kill me light to light, but if I raced one on the freeway for enough time, I would eventually overtake them as my gov was not until 108. It took a while for that tired old 3.1 (200,000 miles) to get me to 108, but it never failed.
