Looks pretty dorky to me, except for the headlights' passing resemblance to the zenki S14's.

If you really want a sweet minivan, get an early '90s Dodge Caravan turbo.  Yep, turbo - a beefy but low boost 2.5L.  Some of them even had 5 speed manuals.  It's laughably easy to make them run 13s.

Runner up would be a 350 swapped into an AWD Astro/Safari.  It's the same AWD driveline as the GMC Sy/Ty <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

In one of my old Car craft mags, there was an article about a guy (i forgot his name) that was the head guy in a nascar pit crew and his wife made him buy a minivan, so he bought a ford winstar, and hooked up the motor and put a supercharger and if i remember correctly, his car was doing high 12's and 0-60 mad quick lol..

And about the the Astro van, My boy Pete had an Astro beyond pimped out, i dunno why he did this but he put hydro's in it and chromed it out and the whole back is one big bed. Honestly the shit is it hot, but not practical cause thats his only car, he has to drive it everywhere...Ima try to get some pics...
