i recently started a new job at a ford dealership and one of the other techs went on a test drive in a ford minni van and he said that he pulled on a gtp and then he gave me some BS story that GP dont have that much torque. i just started laughing.

lmao u should have just slapped him lol

idk about you but when i turned 14 and got a school permit, my mom's van tore up the streets...

the tech is just giving you crap, best with the new job that you don't say anything or you'll become the next person to take over as the guy everyone makes fun of at work

Next time he drives a van out of the lot, take your break and smoke him.

remind them all as to the reason of why they have such great job security

I'd rather walk than drive a van!
I know where he can park it

over the edge of a cliff i just saw that there was a recall for ford that could set your vehicle on fire even if the vehicle was off.

Well, If I had a ford, I'd be tempted to set it on fire (on or off)

want me to come and show him a car with "no torque"?

Great idea!

Wow no wonder that engine blew up. He probably put like a 3.0 pulley on there and nothing else. Poor engine

LOL, thats funny that the GTP has such ****ty torque. I guess the roots blower kills alot of the low end torque.

Funny story about mini vans. When I was 17 I had a dodge caravan that I took the back seat out of and did simple stuff like aftermarket air filter and plugs. I used to beat GPGTs all day long with that thing. Dont knock the mom vans, some of them have some decent power for what they are.
