R63 sets new World Record
Tanner Foust sets the record for the "World's Fastest Street Legal Minivan". 165.5mph in the standing start mile. Conditions were poor with a DA of 7890. We hope to see speeds in the high 170's in ideal conditions.

Just looked into it more. This is the Weistec supercharged car, probably the same one featured on BaT.

Meh. This isn't really fair. It's a supercharged Weistec one .. of COURSE it's fastest - but it's not "production"!

We need a top speed run for a STOCK R63... I'm pretty sure it can do 160! Now THAT would be legit.
