0-60 in 7.9 second, doesn't the 4th gen auto max runs around the same? if the ody gets a headstart the maxima is gonna have a hard time catching up, watch out automatic guys! A guy at school drive one, I don't want to get spank by a big honda

Minivans are no joke!

Some minivans are no joke man. I used to have a GS-R and one time I raced my buddy in a brand new ford windstar with a 3.5L I think. The first time we went I thought it was a joke and I got smoked cause I didnt give it my all. Then I did, and I won but the first time was a surprise.

Its still a minivan though.

and then there are others that are complete jokes...we used to have a Nissan Quest, in 1993, the first year it came out, and that thing was slow as anything...you had to mash the pedal so hard to get any power out of it...we finally traded it in 2000 for the new 2001 pathfinder...240 horses baby!

windstar got the 200hp 3.8, runs around 9.5 0-60. the new odyssey is a lot faster!

If you cant beat this you dont deserve to drive a max auto or 5-speed. that thing is just slow. `6.2 standing quater and 0-60 in what 7.2 or something like that no max has ever performed that bad. Or so i think
