The cover story of Grassroots Motorsports magazine's current issue pits a
box-stock Honda Odessey minivan against both a Series 2 E-Type Jagauar and a
Porsche 356 coupe.  The Porsche just BARELY pips the minivan in the
autocross, but the Honda flat trounces the Jag...

There is also a blurb in there about a VERY respectable Yugo autocrosser,
and a whole long article about the merits of the Fiat 128 series.
Interesting read.
