How fast a car with a good driver can go around a track and how fast a street driven car with an average driver is are not the same thing and should not be used as a comparison.
There are indeed a couple of minivans that are "faster" but they are rare and who cares anyway? The question posed here was "Is the power adequate for a DD?" not "what can beat what on the track". The answer to the question is that although there are most certainly many "faster" cars on the road the power, acceleration and handling of the Twins make them more than "adequate" as a DD.
