C4 vs. Nissan minivan
One of my coworkers just bought a Nissan minivan and wants to race me.
Do you think I could take him, he says 80s vettes are slow. I'm thinking of maybe putting a K&N on it and removing my passenger seat for weight just to be safe.
Do you guys have any other help? I need to beat him so he will stop ragging on me in front of the other guys.

True the helmet will add extra weight, but that will be offset by the advantage of keeping more blood in your head to prevent you from blacking out due to the sustained high G forces from the L98's incredable torque!
