To replace the spark plugs, I had to remove the right hand seat. You're basically sitting on the engine, and the supercharger and exhaust make a hilarious whistle that sounds like a turbo. It helps that I have a 10" and a 12" in the back. The car is definitely a head turner, but not for the right reasons.
At one light, I look to my left and notice two guys in a Crossfire gawking at it. I promptly revved the engine.

ROFL
160 hp is still pretty week for a minivan though compared to the power some of them make now, my mom has a ford freestar or something like that, and it has a whopping 4.2 Litre V6 making 200 hp and 263 ft/ibs of torque and it is
significantly faster than my 86 n/a auto, yet it still sports seating for 7 and has a built in dvd player and 6 cd changer!
Luxury, practicality, and power, what a package!
