theres a guy on you tube that said he has a awd astro van with the 4.3 vortec, with exhaust, and better plug wires and says it run 13.40s @98mph!!!! in the 1/4 lmao
Even without the 25 percent loss in power due to the AWD system the mustang has two more cylinders and half the weight. Not to mention gearing not set up for towing. but figure a mustang is about 4 grand, can get astros if you look in good shape for around 1 g, take even half of that remaining 3 grand and the mustang would get destroyed, Dollar for dollar the astro not only has better handling, different, but more controlable, but capable of huge power numbers also.
@JoshuaBaldwinBrown AWD system in the quarter mile cost the van 3.25 seconds. If it would have been rear only would have been much quicker. Also less restrictive top end on EFI models. Yes The EFI heads were better, despite the Vortecs inovation as a whole. The Vortec was set up for towing (high to midrange power,high torque curve, gas milage), the EFI was more low range horse power and still high torque curve. EFI also wasnt governed at 100 miles an hour.
@ xBaitMyScenex I have drove(and cleaned) a lot of imports and american cars when I worked at an auto auction and I love them both,hell even my mom owns an astro van and I drive it sometimes(very good car and fun to drive).
haha you kno wats funny tho i actually beat a 04 mustang in a race wit my step dads pontiac montana but im pretty sure he only had the v6 anyway and my step dad threw quite abit into that van lol but i can still say i beat one with a minivan lol
@yVanhalen5150 NO YOU DIDNT YOU BEAT THE DRIVER OF A WRX THE CAR IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE DRIVER LETS SEE ASTRO 3800 LBS 175 HORSE 200 LBFT SUBURU WRX 2000 LBS 280 HP TURBOED YOU DIDNT BEAT HIM YOURE A LIAR OR HE WASNT ON IT
Second, winning is winning. Whether you lost because your car is slow or because you are slow is moot.
Third, you assume the Astro is stock. For all we know yVanhalen5150 could have swapped the drivetrain out of a GMC Syclone/Typhoon or even just a SBC into the Astro (both possible), which with a bit of tuning would make this scenario easily possible. Or... the driver of the Subie missed a shift (shitty driver) and got greased by an Astro. Take your pick.
man its that first gear it has way too much tourq on it i always have problems with that it wants to pull something not go and once you hit second gear which you see in the vid it starts to move
that van has a bigger gas tank than your car :) 27 gallons can go about 500 miles on it no joke and those vans are built on a truck frame so its way heavier its made to haul people and weight not run in circles, even though some have modified them to do that
Let's see here: The Stang has a 5L v8 and makes 215 hp and 285 ft/lb. It weighs roughly 700lb less. The Astro has a 190hp, 260ft/lb 4.3L V6. Plus, it's a fucking van! Why are you proud? It's not big accomplishment you dumbass frat boy.
you can tell the van let off as the mustang started winding up about 10 or 11 seconds into the video.
