I heard this about 10 years ago, when those 1200hp supras were in fashion.
A man in a tuned supra stops at a light, while a gardener crosses the street to his van. The gardener says:
"nice supra, man. That thing must have some serious power"
"Thanks, bro. Wanna check it out?", answers the man.
"Sure" he says while the man opens the door to show all the 70 gauges he has to show the many places in which the car will spill oil from.
"Hey, wanna drag race with your van? Let's have some fun. No one's around", he says while closing the door.
"Well, okay, but..."
"Let's go man, come on!"
"Yes, but can I..."
"Let's go, it's red again, let's go before it opens!"
The gardener entered his van and started it while the supra was burning out, heating the tires. The light turned green and the supra was gone. The man looked into his mirror, seeing the quickly disappearing van while he floored his car. All of a sudden he sees the van growing in his mirror, approaching extremely fast. "How can this be? I'm at 150mph, this isn't possible! How can a van be this fast!". And the van passed the supra and stopped at the next red light.
The man stopped beside the van, stepped out and ran to it and see what's going on. The gardener was terrified holding his steering wheel with his eyes almost popping out.
"HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS? WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN THIS VAN? WHAT HAPPENED?"
"My suspenders got caught in your door"

Or perhaps it's the XJ220 Ford Transit!

Yeah, I thought of this one while writing it down. But 10 years ago, there was no such thing.
Actually, I heard it with a VW Van. I even heard a different version of it a few months later:
A guy in a tuned supra stops on a red light, beside a VW Van. He shouts at the van driver, an elder gardener:
"Wanna drag race?"
"Ok"
The supra prepares, and launches quickly when the light turned green. But the van launched right after, and launched so fast it past the Supra in no time. The Supra driver presses the nitrous and soon he is side by side with the Van, at 120mph and still accelerating.
"What now, old man? You had a secret, but I busted you! What are you going to do?"
"I'll change into 2nd"

The XJ220 van has actually been around for a few decades. It wasn't just some frankensteinds monster that someone created, it was made by Jaguar themselves. It was created as a mule to develop the xj220s drivetrain before the body design was finalized.

Interesting. Didn't know about this one.
There were probably also Porsche powered VW Vans, too. Someone must've thought about it before 2000.
