    Imagine getting passed by this at the track...

    Awesome little van! Engine and misc bits and piesces come primarily from a 993 turbo. 500 hp. Puts a smile on my face everytime I see it in action The driver knows how to drive it too!

    Re: Imagine getting passed by this at the track...

    That video was deceptive. The guy in this Aston Martin sucked and wasn't fast in any way. The guy chasing him was OK at best, but not great. He was being held up by the Aston in a big way and was taking a passive, less aggressive line to compensate. It seemed the bus driver while probably having the slowest car, knew the track and was the more aggressive driver.

    Experience is everything, when I started at the track, I was getting passed by guys in stripped down Honda's, and several years later I am passing guys in 500hp exotic purpose built race cars...

    Revenge is sweet!
