Default Got smoked by an Odyssey today....

I was driving the 951 today and some bad *** in an Odyssey smoked me from a 3rd gear pull.

My 951 is weak...

Yes it is... The bad *** had Sponge Bob playing on the dvd player. I could see this due to being behind him the entire time.

That'll teach you to mess with a Honda. Hell, I've got a Honda lawnmower that'll smoke most NAs.

i have a weed whacker that doesnt even have forward motion capabilities and its still faster than my NA



on a related note i read in one of those tuner magazines one time this guy decided to be different and bought an odyssey to use as a track car. lol.

i believe he built the engine and turbod it, stripped out the car, lightweight widebody parts (for a van???), big tires, and two HUGE bottles of NOS where the middle seats used to be. i think it was AWD too.

apparently he would pass almost everything out on the track too..

ill look for the article later and try to scan it up

We've got one - and I seriously gave a guy with an early eighties TA (complete with "screaming chicken" on the hood) a run for his money the other day with 5 passengers on board. My kids were cracking up.
