When I was getting my subs welded yesterday. Some GMC Astro/safari van pulls in the parking. I dont think much of it. So I'm looking at the guy working on my car but am hearing a conversion in my right ear. The driver of that Astro van is at least 55years old, but propably like 60. Some guy says outloud : "You got a LS1 in there ?" I look at the old man, stunned. His liscense plate says "LS1PWRD" or something. So I say "Thats a joke, right? You dont really have a LS1 in there, dont you ?" He says no I'm serious, this is no joke. I'm like "Reallllllllllly ?!...I bet you really got/had a Camaro and you just transfered the plates to this vehicule..." He says no, I really have an LS1 in there. So I look at the side of the van and it says AWD. So I ask "what did you do about the AWD ? Now you're just driving it rwd ?" He says "No, it's still AWD" Thats pretty cool. I said "You must be spinning a lot..." He responds "No, only when it's wet".

Seriously, talk about a sleeper. Just imagine a riced out civic or prelude getting his ass royally OWNED by that Astro

When he left the shop, he gave it a little just to shom me. That sure wasnt a V6

Yeah -- I saw this van at the Ottodrome 1/8 mile track last year. Everyone's like "tee-hee-hee" when they see this ASTRO van pull up to the line.... until the light goes green. Don't be messing with this van...

It was a Camaro. I have that vid somewhere. But back then, for a few years, they were building the minivans with a turbo from factory. That Camaro got

I THINK it was running mid to high 8 seconds in the 1/8th. (I was running mid 9s). I didn't realize it was AWD though, would be nice for launches for sure.
