I'll put my wife's green and orange 1977 AMC Pacer up against your mom's purple GrandVoyager!
It only runs on 5 cylinders, but she usually cheats and takes off early, leaving the competitionin a billowing cloud of white smoke. (from the exhaust)
She has a bobble head chihuahua in the back window that taunts her competitors as she pulls away.
Let me know!!!!!!

Just take the turbo'd V6 out of a Grand National and run it. It will run low 9s, high 8s. If you can't beat a minivan with that... I'd find a nice cave to live in...

Putting a Viper V10 in it is a waste of money and time. You are better off putting in a Hemi or SB Chevy and building that up. The aftermarket on those engines are much better and much more competitive so prices are much better and you can build them with just as much power.

Wouldn't it be easer to buy an SRT10 and put the Geo in the bed and then race his mom?

Save your money and start drinking, or grow pot, or get educated for heaven sake, The Geo Prism, Pontiac Firefly or Chvey Sprint are all the same car, some were turbo charged, 3 cy and had 5sp manual, the base 3cy non turbo engine is pretty quick considering the lack of metal and 13in tires

Find a turbo banger 3cy and swap it in, put your five grand into a Dodge Ram with a hemi.

Or find a shelby turbo sundance or dodge SH.

have fun ...... and the trans and viper engine are longer than the geo !!!!!
