Seems like this will diminish the importance of pit strategy.

A ton at that size? Wouldn't that be super stiff?

Maybe it has lasanga leaf springs and ziti bushings. Soak in hot water for a limp, slippery ride. Let dry for a stiff, brittle ride.

Wrap it in rubbery rope for an even stiffer ride...

saw two 944s sitting in yards on a rural highway this morning. One silver, one tan.

Route 11 between Watertown NY and Fort Drum NY.

The oil pan is a nice touch.

win for MINIVAN, carried a full and twin bedframe (cheap metal bunkbed needed to be welded, I wasn't careful disassembling it in SC).

This afternoon MINIVAN goes to pick up desks.

Forgot to get pictures of all the desks inside, but moved three of these in Odyssey. Tops had to be removed and laid down.

Yup, at once!

No Autobahn here, so haven't checked top speed. This thing has more hps than my SHO. More weight and frontal area too though....

pfft.    My 1992 Voyager's speedo only went to 110mph. It was good for another 500rpms beyond that :mrcool:

Later MOPAR minivans had a limiter at 110mph. A friend had one in Germany and about crapped his pants the first time, thinking he'd blown the engine. And the stupid part is the engine isn't re-enabled until you get under 90mph. DANGEROUS when you're in traffic!!!   :hammerhead:

PS- SHO was good for 140mph

Oh yeah, that Sienna could have kept going. Probably 125 and then it'd be fighting the wind.

My experience in the SHO was that 90mph was fairly easy, 110 took some road, 125+ the road better be clear and looong.

For reference, SHO had 220hp, 2004 Sienna 225hp and 2003 Odyssey about the same.
