  who knows what the Van did. u DID say normal impreza right? TS? TS is slow in pickup leh. Toyota Altis gets to 100 2 seconds faster than the TS, and that would equate to over 1 car's length at 100km/h. Anyways i have a video clip of a caravan beating a Z28 Camaro(an american muscle car) in a proper drag race.

  Van have bigger cc, if no cargo,it can go fast......
  subaru well known for heavy body, so pick up will lose......

  Yes, Van is good!!
  But the top speed of a van in Singapore is not limited by the engine, but by the black circular sticker pasted at the back with white text which says "60 km/h"
  
  Hahahaha!! Play pick up all u want lor.

  when a van is unloaded, its actually quite light. plus diesels have mountains of torque at low RPMs

  Ai-ya..torque in my powderful chinese translatation equal>>>>>The power to turn the wheels/engin lor..minus those drivetrain parts.
  
  Eg
  Car 1-500Nm of torque but only 100Bhp
  Car 2-100Nm of torque but hv 300Bhp.
  
  To reach 100km/h,car 1 should reach tat speed 1st...But Car 2 can hv a higher top speed den car 1.
  
  Something lik tat...

  Van cannot take more ppl la.. unless they R the workers of tat company.Yes, it save fuel, cos is "oil shit "ma...Get some continenter van the chassie harder.. bang wid a civic den u wil know how hard te metal is..lolx..(no offence)
  
  ERP i tink is same ba...i dunno lea..Top speed ah.. i hv friend tat drive the volkswagon caddy can side by side me till 190km/h lik tat..Pick up from stop,i lose.I drive honda.
  Dunno why the hell tat caddy go so much power under the engin.Only see in other country (can be serch on internet)they use it to race,the wat racing caddy or wat caddy racer... .if diesel so got more torque as quoted by Heng but also not lik those 1st gear wheel spin lik hell den move off,den 2nd gear will screech ...FYI, the tire is not lousy..My kuku friend using Falken RT215.Hw use b4 the SO-2 also wheel spin lik hell, he say tat tire is good only problem is very fast wear off..

  which also means that cabs have good pick-up?
