[jason123456789210]

[yazied00100]

i would belive it , i've done 134 with my 4.3 astro but it took 3 miles till i reached that and when i arrived that 3 miles stretch i was doing 73 mph, way to go astro

[ScottieDTV]

LOL..Mexico?

[zz3astro]

@ScottieDTV Nope this one was in the states... too long ago to matter lol

[ShoeManShoe68]

Haulin asstro. I love it!!

[firechicken76]

I can't wait to built a LT1 for my Astro, then with a built 4L80 and 3.73 posi I think it will be pretty quick. Very nice van man! Mine is a gen 1 too! 1994 EXT two-tone blue right now with the 4.3L CPI Vortec V6. It ain't the fastest thing, but I shut up a few Hondas and Nissans with that thing. I can't wait to build the LT1 though so I can take on some more compotition like my friends in their Mustang, Camaro, El Camino, and especially my friends 87' Cutlass with a 403.

[midgetmayo]

What exhaust? Like no joke sounded like nascar. Please excuse my poor grammer, I'm half asleep on the keyboard lol

[daytonpaul]

I just had a 3rd gen Camaro with the 305 h.o. sure it was fast in a sporty way but I just traded it for a 87 Astro with a mild 350.Faster,more comfort,way more room and its a sleeper except soon I'll be changing the duel turbo mufflers to flowmaster 44s or maybe the dynomax turbos. In Jegs theres a brand called Pypes that sound decent. I really like the 44 series sound but its getting a little to common but even with that sound people will be like,"is there a hotrod riding next to that van"

[fogcat1]

DAYUM!!! sweet!

[princewilliam1977]

Oh Hell yea

Burnout paradise VAN

[skullgymequipment]

HAHAHAHA..that made my night

[TakeItEasyC6]

Astro's a great van, I'm just curious how the hell you got that engine in there! There's hardly any room to work under that hood as it is, and if you want to change your spark plugs, you've gotta take your whole damn dash board out. Props for figuring it out.

[KingSams0n]

You Americans don't know how well off you are with your gas prices...in Germany we have to pay 1.25 € for a LITER of normal pump gas (91octane), which is about 5€ or 6.6$ a gallon.

So don't complain about how bad life hit you ;)

300$ for fuel per month is, for many people at least, normality here in good ol Germany.

[gogmorgoaway]

@KingSams0n Yeah, well on this side of the pond, "normal pump gas" is only 87 octane. You pay more for better gas. Granted, our 91 octane doesn't cost that much, but the only people who run it are those who have an expensive car that needs it. And they usually don't sip it.

[TheChangeling9]

im gonna stick a 4inch lift kit on mine with 31inch tires

[ilikebeer]

gay.

[TheChangeling9]

give me your address and ill come run you over when im done

[spermyzskeet]

i have to agree.. lifting an astro would be pretty gay.. you aren't really gonna be running over very much with a van on 31's...lol

[sirlonghair]

AWD?

[TheChangeling9]

yessir

[d4v3z]

LOLOL CRAZYY

[adammdamann]

whats the point

[ipdaily6]

sweet man, a real sleeper, everyone has the same old these days good to see someone doing something different....

[dburrigh]

That is truly the coolest thing I have ever seen! I've got a 1978 G10 short wheelbase van, had the original 350 taken out to 385 (.040 over block with stroker crank). The engine's got full roller valvetrain and Edelbrock 180cc intake heads. It's fun blowing Cayenne Turbos out of the water (I'm 600 pounds lighter and make more torque, they never see it coming).

I'm hanging on to it despite the gas prices, just don't drive it often. Fast vans rule!

[TMawesomeD]

SNAP...ive had my 92 for over 7 years and never took it that fast....lol on the haulin asstro :)

[989538]

just try not to roll the thing going that fast ......

[BigSlimm29]

that's bad ass an the guy who says it ain't no good for the turns probably drives a ricer.

[crashviper]

hell of a van

[556210]

i have a question

why???

it's a van it's a van you can go fast in a straight line but the aerodynamics and... everything noo just wouldn't owrk goo dragster but not for turns

[FATBOYREPPIN502]

2 b different thas y. alot of people put v8s n s10s but only a few put v8s n astros lol

[plexreticle]

That's bad ass but doesn't look like 130 mph.

[retarded0dragon]

thats cause its a van lol

[zz3astro]

could be 125 I guess :-) just keep in mind the 3.08 gears and wind noise

[didyoushityourpants]

shit i need more power for my astro so i wont be late for the jam practices

[junkyard12320]

damn i need to put a 350 in my van or buy a supercharger for it

[civicman281]
