This one is pretty quick w/ the back empty! Like I said, it'll grab a
straight up 2nd on dry pavement! It's swb,too. Like you said- other than the
aerodynamics of a huge brick, they can make easy, readily available
platforms for a cheap hot-rod!

I have seen a couple of these in the past. Last year there was a Chevy van
running at Milan that I believe was in the 12's. This van was a parts chaser
for a local speed shop. Pretty good advertising if you ask me. Vans are
usually pretty light empty, with usually the biggest engines around. Hate to
say it but I'd bet that a 360 short van could take an R/T in a street race,
until the aerodynamics caught up with it.
