Oh I got the answer to this one. My Uncle is a big mopar fan from the old days and he knows about these Mini vans. See you could order them with a 2.5L turbo and a 5-speed. It was all a matter of checking a box on an order form. We all have seen talons withthis motor and Dayton Shelby Z's pulling 12's so this is not a big shock for the motor, Just that someone took the time and invested money into a damn MINIVAN!?!?!?!?!!?!? I wouldn't get out on the track with that thing.
