AMS Performance’s 700hp AWD Express Cargo Van

AMS Performance Chevy Express Van

There aren’t many things more embarrassing in life than losing at the drag strip. Especially when the other vehicle is a Chevy Express cargo van. But if it’s a loss to the mad men at AMS Performance, which have given their shop van 700hp, it’s understandable. Thanks to factory AWD, a 72mm turbo, a Z06 Corvette cam, methanol injection, and other necessary modifications, the fat 6,000-pound keister can reach the 60-foot mark in 1.7 seconds, and run the quarter mile in 12.49 seconds at 108 MPH. Not bad for a brick on wheels, to say the least.

If nothing else, we can hope that this insane van will inspire other crazy people to follow suit. Anyway, here’s the video below – Enjoy!

    I have a soft spot for the Express. I’m sad to say that AMS has beat me to the punch.

    Except I would have mounted the engine in the back. ;)
