There you go, it just proves that the minivan is more than a soccer mom's second home... :rolleyes:

This doesn't mean your R8 isn't 'bad'. Just means you aren't the big dog on the block when there's a Dodge Caravan nearby.

I'm surprised the van did better, my parent's Town and Country might be one of the worst handling vehicles Dad has driven!

I'll bite......I'll trade you my mini van for your Audi R8. Mine's paid for. I expect the same.

Think I'll have any takers?

Is it a suprize that an over weight underpowered van beat a high reving super car on a very short Australian pursuit course? And it never stated that the van isn't an awd itself. I think that's a pretty dumb way to judge anything. I bet there are a million Toyota pickups out there that can out crawl that Audi too.. Where's that video?

Did anyone else notice that the van wasn't running on the wet part of the pavment half the time? Have 'em run on the SAME SURFACE 100% of the time, then see who comes out on top.

Being the owner of a sports car, this one is really simple. The Audi is running on summer performance tires. The mini van is probably on all weathers. If you have ever driven in the wet on high performance summer tires you know that they really, really suck in the wet. I drive like I am on ice when it rains. Cornering in the wet the car just goes straight to under/no steer and try the brakes at your peril. The ABS kicks in the minute you touch the pedal. Kind of like watching an F1 race when the rain comes. Cars off the road everywhere. Now take away the wet and the Audi would climb up the backside of that minivan in about a half a lap.
