40 years & millions of dollars R&D, ABS brakes, electronic fuel injection & only 2 seconds quicker than an Nascar designed muscle car with 185/14 tyres????????. Stick to soccer practice & trips to the mall

this test is retarted. A mini van against a ‘69 Charger Daytona? Ok for one, the Daytona was designed for Nascar, its RWD and heavy. Its not meant for autocross. A van isn’t meant for autocross, it’s not meant to be sporty, period. Plus, show me one person that owns a ‘69 Charger Daytona who actually wants to run it like a dog on a track against a dumb van? Those cars are worth way too much money. Go look up Mr. Angry’s ‘69 Daytona, that is actually built for events like this….

This video compares apples and oranges. 40 year old technology and engineering is not going to beat new technology. I’m sure if it was a brand new charger against the old charger you’d see more than a 2.7 second difference in course times. If you put the Charger Daytona against the Minivan on a superspeedway, the daytona would literally run circles around the minivan because of the speed limiter built into the van’s computer. Honda Odyssey=great minivan. Charger Daytona=Great Musclecar.

The charger in all iterations up untill 74 was intended soley for superspeedway, that honda, was designed for stability in. The streets. Put the two on a course like talledega, the charger will win, hands down. Both cars were designed with different types of performance in mind, and they happened to test the 2 where the honda acceled.

how is this “family driving”? late for soccer practice? xP

ANDDDD for all the fucking idiots saying run the Odyssey against a new Daytona or Charger you can suck a dick and let me see ANYYY charger or muscle car run it against a s2000 the track king.. Just goes to show how ridicules you sound by saying that, and this video is obviously nothing serious so stop arguing about it..fuckers

SDcorner | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

Heheheh Odyssey is the shit :D I have a 08 and it’s an incredible mini van..Deff worth the money :P

SoilentGr33n | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

I agree, let’s try that with a ‘cuda or Challenger.

Still a nice video though lol

I would think a Daytona would be the hardest Muscle car to autocross because of the nose. A normal body Muscle Car could make up the 2 second difference just being able to see the course. Just the front visabilty of the Odyssey Minivan would make it faster. They(SCR) were just copying something Grassroots Motorsports( magazine) did with an Odyssey , but they beat a old Porsche I believe. Why could’nt SCR find a sports car, not a large muscle car to embarrass???

EarlShoes1 | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

I have run autocross with a 74 Plymouth Duster. similar suspension( torsion bars and leaf springs) as a Daytona. One event my old car had a faster time than these: 92 celica, , 03 350z, 03 mini cooper, 03 protege 5, 91 CRX, 96 eclipse, 91 MR2, 79 RX7, 87 Supra, , 97 Miata. to name a few.

I personally am a fan of classic American cars like the Daytona here, however, it was not built for the purposes shown in this test, therefore it is no surprise that the Odyssey outdid the Daytona; the Odyssey was built for family driving, like that shown here, the Daytona was not.

Both vehicles are respectable in their own right, personally I wouldnt give up my old MoPar (even if it is a 77 Aspen) simply because I like it, if I had a family, maybe something like the Odyssey would be better

knobcheese69 | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

well, considering an s800 would be faster than the minivan around an autocross track, i would probably say the honda would be.

and how does it matter how much the car is wanted? all it means is the driver is more likely to be a bitch and drive it slowly and the car/parts are all expensive and kept by hoarders.

68chargerlover | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

Dont matter what you run,the daytona will always be wanted over the honda even if they run a 40, 50 60yr old car against a new honda. You bring your honda and I’ll run my 40 yr old charger lets see who wins

knobcheese69 | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

how about, in the spirit of this test, we run a honda s800 against a dodge caravan? i already said that. it is a 40 year old honda vs a brand new dodge minivan.

also you keep saying the dodge is a classic. how does that make any difference to the car at all? its still slow and overpriced.

68chargerlover | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

run the honda against the new daytona then or new challenger.Or a 40yr old honda vs the new challenger lets see how they differ,whats the techology difference.The daytona is a classic the honda isnt give it up loser

knobcheese69 | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

if its a piece of shit, its a real shame it beat a legend.

and lets see where a new dodge is in 40 years, lol. every time you insult the honda, you insult the dodge, because it is slower, less practical and more expensive.

anx1300c | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

Damn, those are some LOW BUDGET strippers. 1989 keeps calling the last girl, wanting its jeans back.

68chargerlover | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

The honda is a piecs of shit the daytona a car with value and is a legend.

68chargerlover | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

Lets see where that honda is in 40 yrs and how that compares to cars 40yrs from now,dumbass

knobcheese69 | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

4 grand new? have you even heard of inflation?

also a 200,000 dollar car that is still slow is fucking ridiculous.

68chargerlover | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

See where your honda is in 40yrs and see what kinda value its worth, the daytona has won way more races then the honda ever will and its value has gone from 4grand new to 200grand so give it up

knobcheese69 | January 10, 2010 at 4:05 pm

>rice
>stock minivan

learn how to use terminology, a stock minivan is not rice.

now what you say proves my point exactly. that car, like most muscle, is shitty, tired and old-tech. even if it was brand new, do you honestly think it would be 2 seconds faster?

>The car shown here was detuned for the public.

so if this car in the video was the high performance one, then the one for the public would be slower, am i right?

also if you swap it around, a honda s800 would roll a dodge caravan.
