Dodge Caravan Turbocharged Drag Racing Racelegal.com 4-6-2012
Race your ride at qualcomm stadium at racelegal.com how about a dodge caravan turbocharged drag racing and very fast.
Generation I Caravans used the Chrysler S platform, which was closely related to the K-cars, Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant. There were three trim levels on the Generation I Caravan: base, mainstream SE, and upscale LE. The Caravan was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1985. All trim levels were also available in a slightly longer body, called the Grand Caravan, which allowed significantly more cargo space behind the rear seat. Most of the interior trim, controls, and instrumentation were borrowed from the K-car, leading to a very "car-like" interior look and feel. Coupled with the lower floor that the front-wheel-drive design allowed, this helped to make the Caravan seem more like a large station wagon than a van, enticing many buyers who would not have otherwise been comfortable driving a van.
The vans came equipped for seven passengers in three rows of seating, putting it between a typical twelve-passenger/four-row full-size van and a six-passenger/two-row large sedan. 2 bucket seats with attached armrests and open floor space between them in the front, a 2 person bench seat in the second row, and a 3 person bench seat in the back row. The two bench seats in the rear were independently removable, and the large 3 person bench could also be installed in the 2nd row location via a second set of attachment points on the van's floor, ordinarily hidden with snap-in plastic covers. This configuration allowed for conventional 5 person seating with a sizable cargo area in the rear. The latching mechanisms for the benches were very intuitive and easy to operate. The act of moving the seats, however, typically required 2 adults, and lifting them back into the van was a very awkward procedure. An 8-passenger model with a bench front seat accommodating a middle front passenger was offered in the SE trim level in 1985 only, and was not repeated due to poor sales.
Safety features were typical of vans of the era, and consisted of 3-point seat belts for the front two passengers, with simple lap belts for the rear 5. The rear seats had no headrests, while front seats with non-adjustable headrests came only on the LE and in conjunction with vinyl upholstery on the SE. Base models and cloth-trimmed SEs did without front headrests which were not mandated due to the van's "light truck" legal status. Side-impact reinforcements were, and were at all seating positions front and rear. Airbags or ABS were not available.
Access to the rear rows of seating was by a large sliding door on the passenger side. The sliding door allowed easier access in a confined suburban garage, compared to the double doors found on most full-size vans of the era. Because only one sliding door was offered, the smaller 2nd row bench seat was installed off center, shifted to the drivers side of the van, to allow easy passenger access to the 3rd row seat. The cargo area behind the rear seat was very limited on the standard short body model, however, the seat could be adjusted forward in 2 increments, the first of which removed roughly 6 inches (150 mm) of legroom from the back row passengers, and the second of which would push the bench all the way to the back of the 2nd row, making the seats unusable. The seatback of the rear bench could also be folded forward, providing a flat cargo shelf. The smaller 2nd row bench was not adjustable, nor foldable; it could only be removed entirely.
Cargo access to the rear was via a hatchback, similar to the one on the K-Car station wagons. The hatch was hinged at the top and held open by gas struts, and it was the source of much confusion among Caravan owners. It could only be released by the key, or by a button on the driver's control panel; it did not have a traditional door handle. Once the hatch had been "popped", the key could be removed, and the hatch lifted by a handhold above the license plate holder. However, many owners did not identify the handhold area, and instead used the turned key as a handle to lift the hatch, resulting in many broken keys.

2ND PLACE SUPER STREET Ian Curtis 2012 Dodge Challenger NA 9.009 80.79
The Dodge Challenger is the name of three different generations of automobiles marketed by the Dodge division of Chrysler.
The first generation Dodge Challenger was a pony car built from 1970 to 1974, using the Chrysler E platform and sharing major components with the Plymouth Barracuda. The second generation, from 1978 to 1983, was a badge engineered Mitsubishi Galant Lambda. The third, and current generation, was introduced in 2008 as a rival to the evolved fifth generation Ford Mustang and the reintroduced fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro.
On December 3, 2007, Chrysler started taking deposits for the third-generation Dodge Challenger which debuted on February 6, 2008 simultaneously at the Chicago Auto Show[16] and Philadelphia International Auto Show. Listing at US$40,095, the new version was a 2-door coupe which shared common design elements with the first generation Challenger, despite being significantly longer and taller. The LC chassis is a modified (shortened wheelbase) version of the LX platform that underpins the 2006--Current Dodge Charger, 2005--2008 Dodge Magnum, and the 2005--Current Chrysler 300. The LX was developed in America from the previous Chrysler LH platform, which had been designed to allow it to be easily upgraded to rear and all-wheel drive. Many Mercedes components were incorporated, including the Mercedes-Benz W220 S-class control arm front suspension, the Mercedes-Benz W210 E-Class 5-link rear suspension, the W5A580 5-speed automatic, the rear differential, and the ESP system. All (7119) 2008 models were SRT8s and equipped with the 6.1 L (370 cu in) Hemi and a 5-speed AutoStick automatic transmission. The entire 2008 U.S. run of 6,400 cars were pre-sold (many of which for above MSRP), and production commenced on May 8, 2008; Chrysler Canada offered a further 670+ SRTs uniquely badged as the Challenger 500 (paying homage to Charger and Coronet 500s) all of which were shipped to Canadian Dodge dealers. Chrysler of Mexico offered only 100 of these cars for that country with a 6.1 liter V8 and 425 brake horsepower (317 kW) (SAE); the version of which was the SRT8. Chrysler auctioned off two 2008 SRT8 for charity with the first car going for $400,000 to benefit the notMYkid non-profit organization. A "B5" Blue No.43 car fetched a winning bid of $228,143.43 with proceeds going to the Victory Junction Gang Camp.[17]
The 2011 model year base Dodge Challenger came with the new Pentastar V6 engine producing 305 bhp (227 kW; 309 PS) and 268 lb·ft (363 N·m). The new engine featured cylinder deactivation and dual variable valve timing. The bottom grille cutout was also flipped upside down, different from the 2008--10. The new SRT8's chin spoiler was enlarged to create more downforce. It resembles the 1970 Challenger R/T.[21] The SRT8 received a new 392-cubic-inch (6.4 L) Hemi V8.[22] with Variable Camshaft Timing, as well as the Multiple Displacement System that was used on the 5.7 L (345 c.i.d.) engine. The 392 was officially rated at 470 horsepower (350 kW) and 470 lb·ft (640 N·m) of torque. Dodge engineers said they sacrificed peak horsepower ratings for low-end torque, stating a 90 lb-ft increase over the outgoing 6.1-L (370 c.i.d.) Hemi V8 at 2900 rpm.[23] Two transmissions were offered, a 5-Speed Shiftable Automatic and a 6-speed manual.[24] With the revised 6.4-Liter engine, Chrysler engineers cited a quarter mile (~400 m) time of 12.4 seconds at 110 mph (180 km/h) -- bettering the outgoing 6.1-Liter Hemi by 0.8 seconds, although that figure has varied wildly between automotive magazines. Car and Driver tested the 392 at 12.9 seconds at 114 mph (183 km/h)[25] while Motor Trend ran it at 13.0 seconds at 111.3 mph (179.1 km/h)[26] and Edmunds' number was far closer to Chrysler's claimed numbers at 12.6 seconds at 112.1 mph (180.4 km/h).[27]
97 Dodge Grand Caravan ES 3.8 for sale
I will describe our van to the best of my ability, please keep in mind that it is 14 years old and has 92k miles on it... as such it has a few little dings and paint chips on the outside and some wear on the inside - nothing is beyond what I would consider "normal" wear.
Nothing wrong that I am aware of, has typical minor dings and scuffs from being a 14-year old vehicle with 92k miles. Interior is in good shape, seats are excellent, the carpet has stains here and there. Has the second row captain's chairs, passenger side flips forward for access to the 3rd row bench. Equipped with the Infinity upgraded stereo system with cassette and single CD player. Rear air conditioning and heat.
We bought the van in January of 2007 with 56k on it, and we are the second owners. I have meticulously maintained this van with regular engine oil and filter changes, and transmission fluid and filter changes. Transmission fluid and filter have been changed at 57k, 70k, and 92k with Mopar ATF+4. I installed an auxillary transmission fluid cooler when I purchased the van as my research indicated that overheated fluid was a main cause of transmission failure in these vans. I also installed a transmission temperature gauge at that time to ensure that we never overheated it.
I have also drained and re-filled the power steering fluid at 57k, 70k, and 92k. Regardless of what people tell you, oil will get dirty and wear out, especially with our 120 degree desert temps!
The HiddenHitch Class III hitch was installed in May of 2008 to pull a 4x6 U-haul trailer, we pulled it about 1400 miles with 1,600 lbs gross weight (van is rated to pull 3,500 lbs). Since that trip we have used it to pull a small trailer around town to help friends move furniture a couple of miles. It has never been hooked up to anything heavier than the 1,600 lb U-haul.
Engine oil has been changed around every 4,000 miles with Mobil 1 10w-30 synthetic and a Motorcraft FL-1A filter (larger than Mopar filter for added capacity). I replaced the valve cover gaskets when I purchased the van as they were leaking onto the Exhaust manifolds. They are currently not leaking and I do not have to add oil between changes.
The starter was rebuilt at 84,500 miles due to an occasional "click" without turning over - a common failure of the starter solenoid. It has worked perfectly ever since. Front brake pads were replaced at 87,500 miles. I flushed the brake fluid when the van was purchased and also again when I replaced the pads. Rear brakes are drums and work well. Van is equipped with ABS and traction control.
The serpentine engine drive belt and tensioner were replaced at 87,700 miles as preventative maintenance.
The Cooper CS4 Touring tires were installed at 74,350 miles, they carry a 780 treadwear rating (80k), traction rating of A, and temperature rating of A. They were rotated at 87,500 miles and are about due for another rotation. As you can see from the pictures, they have plenty of treadlife left. When I installed the receiver hitch I also purchased a full size spare rim (new) and a new tire for it.
Battery was replaced in November of 2009. The driver's side power window failed in June of 2009 and was repaired at the Dodge dealer with a complete new motor and regulator assembly.
I have records of fuel mileage since we purchased the van, and over the last 34,000 miles we have averaged 20.3 miles per gallon. It will usually make 23 mpg on the highway and about 18 mpg in town.
Windows have been professionally tinted with lifetime guarantee tint, air conditioning works great, it is equipped with rear AC and heat with a rear passenger control for fan speed.

1989 Turbo Dodge Caravan vs a Porsche GT3? at the Mission Street Legals, Sep14/12
At the Mission track Street Legals, not sure what he had, but last race of the night, running 18 psi, still tuning-new setup with a new torque converter, stock head with some custom stage one cams, GT35R turbo, got the fueling right but couldn't build Boost at the line so kept playing with the staging limiter, guess I got it right, I left at around 12 psi, cut a 1.9 60ft to his 2.1, my reaction time was .2XX, his was .6XX. He left right after, not sure if it was due to me beating him to the 1/8 mile or he'd had enough, doesn't matter, it was fun. He didn't want to line up with me though, he kept trying to get someone else to go, lol, but the volunteer wouldn't let him.
I ran a 13.9@94 to his 11.98@128

My First Video at Race Legal San Diego. Sponsored by the San Diego Police Department this gives enthusiasts a place to race easily accessible to all in San Diego.
The Junkyard runs 11.99@117 on a 140hp $90 Dodge Caravan motor from the junkyard. First pass.
Add turbo system to a motor that makes 140hp at the crankshaft. E85 fuel. PT6765 turbo. 16 pounds of Boost.
stock heads, stock cams, stock headgasket, stock shortblock, stock naturally aspirated ECU. No tune. Rising Rate regulator for fuel and Methanol injection.
Car was finished the night before racing and the junkyard water pump locked up on the freeway and had to be changed in the Home Depot Parking lot so we could make it to the race track. Got booted because the junk motor had a camshaft seal oil leak. Instead of fixing the oil leak. I built an oil catch pan (required for 11 second cars at our track in the next race season anyways) so i would not have to repair the oil leak. I was not going to spend money fixing this cheap junk motor. Great Depression Racing

http://www.racelegal.com Illegal street racing continues to advance in popularity, especially among young male adults. Nationally and internationally, illegal street racing is claiming hundreds of lives and injuring thousands annually.
Illegal street races are notorious for being poorly controlled and randomly organized. They also operate with a minimum of rules and safety measures. New communicative technology such as websites, cell phones and underground publications as well as a new generation with more free time, financial resources and a passion for speed has significantly heightened the risk for both participants and bystanders.
As recently as 2002 San Diego suffered the devastation of 16 deaths and 31 serious injuries as a direct result of illegal street racing activity. When these 2002 data were converted to a combined mortality/morbidity incidence rate, we were faced with the fact that for every 1,000 young people who choose to illegal street race in our community, 49 were either killed or seriously injured. A rate of that magnitude was properly defined as epidemic in nature.
The RaceLegal.com program was formed in 1998 by Dr. Stephen J. Bender, Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology/Biostatistics in San Diego State University's Graduate School of Public Health. Via a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, a comprehensive grass root community based coalition entitled "Closing the Loop" was initiated. This coalition involved city/county government, local law enforcement , Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR), Superior Court, City Attorney, District Attorney, county probation as well as the safer and sanctioned RaceLegal.com track alternative to illegal street racing.

1989 Dodge Caravan vs Infiniti G35
Heading out for the weekend, first we played with a VW and Cooper, they gave up, then came across an Infiniti that wanted to play, he tried to take off, I stayed with him but couldn't hit WOT due to still tuning, new torque converter, stock head with some custom stage one cams, GT35R turbo, could only run partial and part throttle, 5-10 psi due to detonation and the trans running hot. I let off heading up the corner, its deceiving to take at speed. At the end, he wouldn't look over, LMAO.
