How did Toyota make an underpowered minivan so fast?

>low powered minivan vs high performance camaro
what did he mean by this?
>>
>>17140343
LOL
>>
>>17140343
wat
>>
>>17140343
Strip the interior and upgrade suspension and tires and I can see it happening.
>>
>>17140360
>it will be faster
Its faster without it. it did a faster time on the track they ran the mini van around.
>>
>>17140483
>no same day comparison
lol, try again
>>
>>17140489
You're right, what moron thought it would be a good idea to advertise a mini van by trying to say its faster than a competitor's car while the maker of the van did the testing for both cars.
>>
>>17140343
Fake news
>>
>>17140504
>damage control
the minivan is 200 hp down
>>
>>17140510
Shit bruh, that minivan also beat a Tesla Model S P85 piloted by Randy Probst too yo.

And is fast as a WRX on that track. Fasho

That minivan also isn't a minivan anymore
>LSD because all minivans need LSDs
>stripped interior
>roll cage
>bespoke racing suspension
>racing slick tires
it's a "wow, this race car is slightly faster than this street car" moment.

Basically because minivans are light

Add onto that there's a lot of space in which one might fabricate tubular frames.
>>
>>17140343
Tires plus brakes plus cage, right? Tires, brakes, and chassis stiffness give absolutely huge gains around a road course. Anyone who's touched road racing knows this.

It's not underpowered. The current model has 300 horsepower.
>>
>>17141016
>300hp
>not underpowered
heh heh heh
>>
>>17140343
couple of simple mods...
>>
>>17142029
care to list them?

The van is just a SHELL.

It's built on chacci from another Toyota product, I think the Tacoma truck or something. Then custom racing-built everything.

You could put an ugly van shell on a Bugatti Veyron and be like DAMN HOW IT DO 0-60 IN 3 SECONDS
>>
>>17142186
>just a shell
no, it's a minivan with medium weight reductions.
>>
>>17142212
No dumbfuck, it's built on a non-minivan CHA-C from another car, custom suspension, etc.
>>
>>17142186
>chacci
>>
>>17142287
nice damage control. it's 200 hp down. stay btfo
>>
>>17140419

>GM better car than any Toyota

Come on now, that is just objectively not true
>>
>>17140343
power to weight ratio.

>all those triggered GMcucks ITT

Lmao

Wow it's almost as though tires make all the difference in the world
>>
>>17140343
Tires

>>17143126
don't bother, these retarded bench racers don't understand
>>
>>17143111
Camaros are fucking cool.
Sleepers are fucking cool.

I see no problem with the video.

>>17140343
because streets of willow is a go kart track.
>>
>>17144240
i mean that literally by the way

1:17 flat is a fast time there in a kart.
>>
>>17144240
Don't reply you idiot. Also it's because this >>17143126. Tires are everything.
>>
Yeah that's cool and all, but how well can this van hit the touge? Fuck the Nurburgring, mount Haruna should be the REAL benchmark of how cars run. They should take the Z06 and JEE TEE ARU there and post THOSE laptimes.
>>
>>17141581
Thats 211Hp more then the AE86

For fuck's sake. Mods delete one post but not this entire shit thread?

Aside from the mods. That driver has mad skills and balls for taking that beast around a track. The average driver would understeer into oblivion before getting even remotely close to that time.

Minivans are tail happy at high speed, probably drifted like a boss the whole way.
>>
>>17152989
Keep in mind it was also on slicks and had custom suspension.
