Andrew,


I have to say congrats on your accomplishments. 112 mph is very impressive I
enjoy going very fast also but the forces that are put on a vanagon at this
speed are unknown or at least only known by the guy that was operating the
wind tunnel the day the vanagon rolled in. I would say 112 mph in a vanagon
is not only dangerous for you but for any child riding in a car on the same
road as you.

>Jim wrote he has done 90 mph in his vanagon HOLY CRAP are you insane.




I've done 112. So what? With a supercharged SVX engine installed
it'll do a lot more than that. The handling is certainly up to it.
