A dodge caravan just smoked me

[mav1178]

I just find it funny that a guy who had no idea how to use a OBD-II scanner on a modern day car to fix an engine-related electronics issue is complaining about Subaru giving him the shaft in a drag race with modern day cars.

Edit: the fact that OP "needed in that lane" goes to show how aggressive of a driver he was.

Yes, that is very unfortunate.

It's kind of sad really. I have no issues passing moms in Fiat 500s or minivans

You calling me a liar? I just posted the mini van times a couple of days ago. The fact that you are too lazy or incompetent to look them up fits right in with the rest of the shit you spew.

No you arn't. Your post history shows you don't know squat about vehicles or driving.

Again I know how to drive. You become a more ovious troll every word you write.

I have driven 5 ton trucks fully loaded with helicopter fuel through mountain roads where even with the mirror pulled in the wheels hung over a 1,000 foot drop and soft skinned trucks through the open desert while people took pot shots at me with small arms and RPGs. Your pansy ass rock climbing would not make me even break a sweat. I don't believe for one second that you have owned or built such a vehicle much less driven one so your point is moot anyway.


I grow weary of the level of shear stupidity of some people and even though I know that I should be the better man and let it slide this guy is their poster child and has been since his first post. No doubt the Mods will eventual see him for the troll he really is but until that time I will not sit back and listen to the bullshit he spews without response.

ITS JUST FUNNY. Everyone had to make it personal.

I'll surmise this guy is a middle aged troll with too much free time. Poor tcoat has been dealing with his stupidity and I can't wait for the mods to drop the ban hammer on Norinradd. Norinradd is a bad driver end of thread, and looking through his past post and thread history has no knowledge of this car or how to work on them in a basic sense. He stooped to the levels of spamming and calling names instead of proving himself.


Talking straight numbers his story doesn't add up, the grand Caravan R/T in a motortrend magazine and car and driver from several issues past only got 7.8 seconds 0-60 with a non soccer mom or dad driving it, our cars in good conditions with a good driver can go 6.4 seconds to sixty. It's important to note norinradds car has headers, intake tune, and an HKS catback, those times should be closer to 6.0 or 5.8 second. It's also important to note without the torque dip he should be able to rev out the power band and get more power where an unmodified car wouldn't making it even easier to drive without having to rev the crap out of it for power. This leaves only 3 possibilities:

1) His car has been badly tuned and is considerably down on power
2) Norinradd's story is false and just wanted to troll the forums a bit with his free time and wasn't actually even racing anybody
3) That OP can't drive and was granny shifting and wasn't really trying at all and lazily pressed the throttle etc. etc.


Bottom line is he's a waste of the communities time


Also take his insane statements with a grain of salt:

"My mothers fiat 500 would smoke the 86. Lol. My jeep on 37" boggers and 1 ton running gear with 190 hp would probably smoke a turbo'd twin"

"Hate to break it to you but an entry level 150hp "sports car" isnt a "real car" it is essentially a cheap TOY"

"Yah. Haha. Had to look at numbers. New caravan has 283 hp and 260 fptq would smoke a damn 350z or v6 camaro. Im sure that minivan owner was proud " look at me babe""

This guy hasn't got a clue or he's brain dead
