California or New England - where there is no market for them whatsoever.
and even then, $8~10 k after getting whatever done that could make it drivable for more than 50 miles.
[and no, half-drivable doesn't count (it's tied for fourth place on list of most serious cars of the 1980s w/ Lotus Esprit Turbo)
and is in very good company alongside the Esprit, 959, 288, and F-40 on maintenance costs and shop time, and deserves to be respected as such].
*I would have added the '88 Aston Martin Zagato, but being it was the ugliest sedan in history, I left it out.

I'm with you on this one. Having been a former minivan owner, there is no way mine would have beat a turbo.

I live in Texas. Did you forget this is the 21st century? Cars have stronger more efficient engines now a days. I'm at work right now so I can find any minivan acceleration numbers at the moment. A stock 217 hp 951 just isn't as fast as you think it is. Am I against the car in ANY way? Hell no. I love it! Chill out.

This probably doesn't count, but... Renault Espace F1
300 km/hr top speed, 6.2s 0-200 km/hr
Are we counting Mini Coopers as minivans, or hot hatches? There are some quick ones...
