LOL - I can agree with this, although there is/was quite the following for the 5 speed turbo minivan's back in the day.

In fact, many people still find it amusing to retro-turbo them, push them to the outer limits of stock configuration, and pull 12's on the track a couple times before going home to rebuild their engine!

I've personally seen a 2.2 turbo mini beat the pants off a OEM 1996 Corvette. Obviously, the mini was modded, but that's gotta be embarrassing. :P
