I say the van wins unless it is a LT1 car and even at that the van might still win.
Here is my van

I ran 14 psi on a intercooled 2.5 with a mitsu (little turbo) and an automatic. I am buildind a 89 2.2 fully forged and converting van to 5 speed. I have a list of muscle cars wanting to race it. I raced 95 LT1 automatic Z28 and from a 20mph roll and he won by 2 cars and that was my small turbo! He got out laughing and said..I WANNT A F’N van now!

The van will probably win. I’ve seen them run 12s and lower. Heck, that same engine is in my Duster, and it MOVES.

i would go for the underdog and say the dodge van.

I think he has more than a chance. Older 4-cyl Dodges are known for their impressive torque(thanks to a very long stroke), bullet proof reliability, and sleeper like character, but watch out!!! These things are the original pocket rockets. Shelby started putting his name on ‘em in the early ’80s, an entire decade before Japanese tuning gained popularity and 20yrs before the Neon SRT-4. Some fellow modified turbo Dodges are putting out as much as 500hp and nearly the same amount of torque. With that said, he’ll blow the doors off that Trans Am with the proper set up.

This van is awesome! After seeing how well the other turbo van did against the Camaro, I think he has a pretty good chance against the Trans Am.

Go Nick!!! I though you might want a little support from one TD fan to another. Check my Spirit R/T out sometime, man.
