I can't imagine a Sienna going 137 mph!!! Maybe on the salt flats on a calm day with a full roll cage. After about 90, it starts to get a little uncomfortable and the handling becomes touchy, but that may just be due to the terrible condition of our road up here.

I didn't realize that I went 90mph with Sienna when I went to pick up the avalon. I thought the bigger tires of BFG KO2 helped.

I’m missing the point. Your neighbor can spend $2.5m on a ‘67 2000GT, lose a race to an Avalon and the 2000GT will not be worth any less. It might appreciate to $3m when the race is over.

2008 Avalon 3.5 engine does not have an oil cooler.

Fixed. With the 3.5 engine and about 1,000lb less weigh than my 2006 Sienna, the avalon drives completely differently.

Very nice! I'll bet it is a nice ride.

$1750 , Dang!

 

[dashan]

Yeah, this was the most affordable 3.5 engine I could get.
