“I recall when I bought our Honda Odyssey van 10 years ago I read a review where they compared it to a 1968 Porsche Turbo Carrera.”
Are you sure you don’t mean a 1986 Turbo Carrera? Porsche didn’t introduce a turbo 911 until 1976 if memory serves.
There was an article many years back in Grassroots Motorsports - don’t remember which issue, unfortunately - where they put a number of classic sports cars up against an Odyssey. It outperformed all of them.
Funny thing is my odyssey flat out hauls ass when I nail the pedal to the floor. 205k miles and still runs like a raped a_e. I’ll run it till the wheels fall off. Or the transmission gives out.
I imagine you are right - just guessing at the dates.

As great as the Honda is, I was still debating on renting something for the kids to go to prom in rather than a mini van.
