My turbo pickup would make the average vanagon look like it was going backwards, but it doesn't hook up until third gear. The problem is weight transfer - namely off the front wheels and onto the back. Great for van, stinks for FWD cars/trucks. We would definitely blow the drag race etiquette of no tire squeal..:)
