that's pretty outrageous, an aerodynamic brick like that running those speeds.

Try holding a 4x8 sheet of plywood up in a light breeze, sometimes it's pretty tough. At 70-mph that equates to 20-psf, which would be a force of 640-pounds, and a man obviously couldn't hold that back, but the frontal section of that van is bigger than the 32-square feet of a 4x8 sheet of plywood, and it's running faster than 70-mph/20-psf. Therefore it must be putting out some serious horsepower to overcome the weight of the car, and the absolutely horrible aerodynamics. 24-pounds of boost, eh?

Laughable, the ultimate sleeper, ha ha ha.
