Chrysler put a factory turbo 2.5L in a bunch of cars from that time frame, including the Caravan. There are tons of guys picking up these cars for super cheap and adding intercoolers and upping the boost, etc.

Cheap thrills, even in minivan trim.

Me and a friend/co-worker were discussing it, and we thought that maybe it was that body somehow welded to the frame and powertrain of something much more powerful, like a Viper



It's got a 2.2L Chrysler engine with a Turbo and a ton of work.

My buddy at work is a Mopar Turbo fan so he's shown me videos of that monstrosity many a time. He has a pristine late 80's Charger with the same engine.

Personally I couldn't give a rat's arse if it does 10's - it looks like poo. all the same it's cool to see. At least they coul choose a nicer body like the newer Charger or Laser.
