A Sprinter is not really a pedo van, is it? When I think of pedo vans, I think of older Ford Econolines or Dodge Ram vans (not the newer ones). I see Sprinters more as either work vans or luxurious motor homes.

That Chevy Van was a BEAST. Kitt bought it after AMS had dialed it in, and man, words do the acceleration NO justice! Fun to revisit the memories of no launches below 1/2 tank, and having a hard time getting a race without the exhaust open. Once a bunch of us took it down to Atlanta to watch the Supercross race and on the way down it ran flawlessly. About an hour into the trip back north she was spitting and sputtering any time we'd start building boost. Shortly after noticing that problem we noticed the odor of overheated electronics. A quick stop and some investigation revealed one of the Autometer gauges he installed had decided to give up. We simply disconnected the gauge and the van didn't miss a beat the rest of the way home.

[@machscope]

It’s always nice to see someone doing cool builds like this. Sometimes I get fatigued of seeing the same GTR this, LS swap that, Supra this, Evo that; it’s always great seeing something different into the mix. Thanks for the inspiration! Now I want to build some kind of sleeper and hurt feelings and destroy egos. 😂

[@YouTubeHandlesAreStupid]

[@davmar9923]

I've also been a van guy for forty years. Up until 2000 I had a 20 year old Ford E-350 cargo van (purchased used nearly that long ago). When I decided to move from the San Francisco Bay Area to Northwestern New Mexico in that year I purchased a new Ford E-350 Supervan in cargo van configuration, i.e. bulkhead with locking door behind the front seats, e-track rails along both sides, no rear windows, heavy duty tow hitch. I also purchased a 20 foot van trailer/car hauler. It took me four 2,000 mile round trips to move all my earthly belongings, including my '94 Lexus SC300 on the final trip. Sometimes I would be pulling up a grade over a pass with the V8 near redline and the trans in second gear for ten minutes at a time. More recently I tried to rent a car trailer from the local U-Haul dealer to pickup a Jeep Wrangler 150 miles away and the bozos refused to rent it to me, claiming that the van was not rated for pulling that much weight! I have fabricated a removable bed platform that hangs on the e-tracks and also have a Blue Ox towing setup on the Jeep. I can tow the Jeep to a trailhead or campground, sleep in the van and then use the Jeep for day trips on local trails (mountain and desert). The thing I like about the cargo config is that someone would need to cut metal to gain access to the cargo area. It also means that the rear is good for sleeping in regardless of exterior light levels (e.g., in a lighted mall parking lot overnight). The only feature I had wished was available would have been 4WD, but was not. I did find a company at the time that did 4WD conversions on the E-350, for about $30K over the cost of the vehicle. I was considering it but when I contacted them I found out they only converted new vans that they had purchased and not a vehicle that had already been on the road for any amount of time. In spite of that I have driven the vehicle on many trails, prior to purchasing the Jeep, that were advised for "short wheelbase 4WD drive vehicles only". A good example would be taking the van over the "Alpine Loop Trail" from west to east, starting from Hwy. 550 just south of Ouray, CO and over Engineer Pass and down to Lake City, CO. I only got stuck once on another occasion in some deep mud on a County Road. It took a fully chained-up 10-wheel water truck to pull me out after a 4WD drive pickup failed at the task.

[@thefiascogarage3215]

Something I did not imagine myself searching when I woke up this morning? "Turbo 5.3 Vans". Thanks a bunch for that little nudge into the rabbit hole of giddy doom. The AMS video with Iron Maiden is cool, but we need a good "Takedown" video. One of the best rides I ever took was as a passenger in my '87 Turbo Regal right after I got it to mid 12's. My girl at the time was driving it normal in traffic when a guy pulled up in a Hemi Dodge with stickers all over it, revved the engine and took off like a ricer flyby. We ended up being the first cars at the next redlight. I told her, "Take him down, but pedal it once the boost comes in". She treed the hell out of him and just stayed about 7 cars out on and off the gas until the next light. He pulls up and rolls down his window to say something smart and see's he just got walloped by this cute little girl in a V6 Buick. The window rolled right back up, he looked straight ahead, and there was no re-match to speak of. I still get excited when I hear an LC2 doing it's thing.

[@c.j.1089]

Fast van club. Back in 1999 my dad, brother, and I swapped an all-aluminum 454 big block into a 1983 Chevrolet conversion van. It had a huge cam with longtubes, but completely unassuming if you didn't hear it camming. I distinctly remember smashing LS1's at the street races while hearing the blinds bang around in the back of the van. It was pretty hilarious.

[@most_hat3d]

Arne down played these vans SO MUCH and what they did for AMS or maybe he doesn't realize! this was 10+ years ago, forums were your source of pictures and whatever was going on. Heres AMS (an upcoming and then a force to be reckoned with) chasing records, breaking them, and then there's the evo being towed by a van!? you're expecting a rig/toter home/beautiful truck, something other than a van! It built a sense of connection, well these just seem like normal guys not some crazy race team. Then there was rumors or it was article i cant recall, of the van running in the 12's which was running faster than a lot of the guys on evom at the time. that was the moment for most when it was, oh, they're just good at going fast. i'm sure someone else will watch this and have the same reaction i did.

I never thought anything of full-size vans for the longest time. Then my truck shelled the transmission out, and I had to get the boat out of the water ASAP before it froze over. I knew I wasn’t going to get parts to rebuild my transmission in time let alone build it and put it back in. So I called my buddy, he had just purchased a Chevy express 3500 with the 6.6 gasser that had hail damage on it so he got it for a steal brand new off the lot. Told me I could use it if I picked it up from the dealership and brought it to his shop 2 hours from home after I got the boat to storage. This van pulled my boat at 80 mph and held tough with the fast paced south dakota interstates (my boat weighs 6100lbs dry plus a tandem 32’ trailer so I’d wager 7100-7500lbs behind this thing) i have been searching for a deal on a van with the 6.6 gasser ever since. The transmission temps never going past 198° even in stop and go traffic alone was epic. My old Tahoe tow pig doesn’t hold a candle to it!

[@peterparker6584]

if you've got the money enjoy it! I don't know if I'll ever own a full-size van short wheelbase or long wheelbase. Frankly always wanted one since I was a kid came pretty close a few times. Neighbor had a really nice one where this guy would change vehicles like you change your underwear he bought the thing for $300 and I told him that day. If you sell it, don't go under 1000 where it was a particularly hard to get Van for these parts and one of the more sought-after models for its era. He ended up selling the thing a couple hours later for around five or 600 and thought that was great literally told him if he wanted to hang onto it for while. I'd see about digging up 800. Don't get me started about the two clowns that ended up with it all the stupid crap they did. He ended up getting the van back a couple months later for around two or 300 and hung onto it for a few months i tried to pick up a couple times but this time he wouldn't part with it. At this point it was painted with white house paint and lots of other horrible things had been done. He ended up trying the transmission and once again I didn't get the opportunity to get my hands on it guy. I know that deals scrap bought the van for 500 to use the motor in one of his trucks. There aren't that many short wheelbase 1980s . GM vans around these parts with the body in that good a condition underneath rot here is a real problem. A lot of people think I'm slightly disturbed because I keep using minivans and more specifically what I do with them.i bought a 96 Voyager that I ended up getting my father because I didn't want to destroy it. It's one of a very few on the road in Nova Scotia that at that point had zero rust and was like working on a two-year-old vehicle. Most of what was wrong with it was Solaris Lee small things that resulted in the vehicle not running. Literally used a van for parts from the neighbors yard that was rotted in half and got it going. That man. By the way, is still running and I destroyed 2 Dodge caravans over about a five year span because of the work I do. They actually hold up pretty good. I use the term destroyed loosely. First one I had a whole bunch of parts lined up to fix it, only to find out that it was rotten in a really weird spot underneath that you can't fix Van had dead doors and other things like that I had rust free doors for on it and a bunch of other parts drove that Van for little over two years. Second one had been beaten like a redheaded stepchild. There wasn't anything I could do that had Artie been done.it was a 98 previous one was a 2004 or 2005. Problem I ran into with the 98 is getting parts around here is difficult. I got to the point that there are so many things wrong with it. It's not worth spending six or seven months tracking the parts down or buying them new last going off the final nail in the coffin was part of the computer went bed. Up till that point I was threatening to track down another one for parts. I'd been trying to track one down. That was worth using for parts and wasn't outrageously priced. Every time I find one they'd want 1000 or more for a piece of complete trash. I paid 800 for that Van. When I bought it and the only reason I paid that much was I couldn't get anything else everything I was looking at was significantly more rot and a much higher price 800 in my opinion was too much. i a couple of months ago bought a 2009 grand Caravan utility model for 1000 normally in that condition. They will run you about 5000 i bought it from a scrap metal dealer who was quite literally going to scrap it. He gets the leftovers from the local auctions paying 200 each puts them up for a couple weeks and if nobody buys them. He scraps them. It's one of two pretty decent vehicles I picked up from him. In both cases getting ready to Scrap them the car I tried to get from him. I'm still pretty sore about you don't want to know the condition of that car and he was so ticked off that he scrapped it just out of principle was a single owner Ford, low mileage grand Marquis damn car should've been in a glass case in a museum.. Way too nice for me but i tried to buy the car rather than see it go to scrap. Didn't care about the money. He basically was just pissed off like the car was possessed or something.the car I bought from him about a week ago. I'm frankly surprised he wasn't smashing the windshield with a baseball bat, where he was just as ticked off lol. He told me he had gotten rid of everything for scrap. The last time I asked about that car and it still turned up a couple weeks later.its not in great shape by any means and ugly, but it's a fun car for somebody like me and I don't have to worry about damaging or scratching it.i hall scrap and Dodge caravans are about the only thing I know of that will take the punishment I dish out where I can afford the gas of a large van and I just can't stand trucks worst vehicle I ever owned was a half ton truck and I constantly felt trapped and confined whenever driving it. I figured it would be the same as the 1972, Jimmy. I had previously and let me tell you, there's no comparison between a full-size Jimmy and a half ton truck!the Jimmy was just way more comparable and hilariously fun. Damn near impossible to get a full-size Jimmy in Nova Scotia and there's the issue of gas mileage so I got into minivans.i love the changes that they've done to the newer caravans. There are much more like a full-size van from a driving perspective just wish they were rearwheel drive is my only real complaint. That car I bought the other day I should point as is a huge rearwheel drive ;) ooo no way I'm going to shoehorn myself into a micro subcompact nightmare after all these years of driving nice comfortable, spacious vans. Gas mileage is probably going to suck, but it's not like I'm going to be driving it seven days a week.i originally bought a Mercedes, but it just turned out to be way nicer than I was expecting and i keep getting paranoid that when I drive it. I'm going to racket so been letting my father use it on and off. Only driven it a few times myself and like I said, I got that cheap rearwheel drive monster that's know where's near the condition of the Mercedes so I don't have to worry about if something happens I destroyed something of actual value. 2006 Dodge charger special edition are asked he or something like that. Maybe it's s XT. I can't remember.thing looks like something a teenager would be driving but i love big rids and it reminds me of the first couple cars. I had when I was young.i have to admit that Van you had was really nice, especially for a multipurpose vehicle/daily Hollar.

I came here from your cannonball run video, having bought a 7.3 Econoline 2 weeks ago. Needless to say I was ecscatic

[@zebracherub]

It's sad they don't do the Econoline anymore. GM still builds the Express/Savanna but these new Ford Transit vans are just not the same

[@JasonfromMinnesota]

yeah fuck europe

[@chubbysumo2230]

The Express/savana is more for the US market, as GM does another body style for Europe, which is ugly. Ford still does the F and E series Cutaway chassis, but they won't put a van body on them anymore. Everyone else switched to European style transits, which are ugly and uncomfortable to drive for long distances. Having driven a Ram Promaster, an older Dodge sprinter, a newer freightliner sprinter(mercedes), a chevy express/GMC savana, and a Ford transit, the Chevy was the most comfortable. The ram's seat is an abomination for long distance, and the sprinters both had the same issue of bad views because of big a-pillars and really front pushed seats(promaster has this issue too). How long before GM kills the Express/Savana because of international influence of fugly body styles?

[@scottjs5207]

The Transit is also front wheel drive garbage.... I miss the days when my family had an E-150, hall the classic to shows or when it breaks down, fill the van with enough luggage for a month and still have it only 30% filled, vacation without missing anything.
