Some of the fastest Johnny Lightning cars (or any diecast for that matter) are the vans.  There are three well known van castings:  Classic 70's models for Chevy, Ford and Dodge.  These cars are very heavy and really build momentum down the track.  There are also some additional fast vans as well including the vintage 1933 Willy's Panel Van and 1954 Chevy Panel Van.

Elite Speed
Top Tier

1977 Chevy Van
2004, Spider-Man Toys 'R Us Exclusive
99 grams, Casting # 400
​One of the heaviest diecast cars, weighing in at nearly 100 grams.  This cool designed car has an especially wide stance, which creates more stability when racing down the track.  I have several other versions of this casting, but this one is easily the best.  

1977 Dodge Van
2004, Marvel Release 4
75 grams, Casting #398
A top 10 overall car.  Heavy, stable and fast.  This casting has 14 versions, but a number of them are not quick, despite the heavy weight.  This fast van comes from the Marvel Comics, series 4 release which features a number of fast castings.  

1976 Ford Econoline 150 Van
2002, Boogie Vans Release 1
78 grams, Casting #399
​This version of the Ford Van comes from the Boogie Vans series. 
The black, 1977 version in the Boogie series was also very fast.

1933 Willy's Panel Van
2002, Woodies & Panel Series
60 grams, Casting #837
This fast van has a more narrow stance, but the weight helps keep it stable down the track.  Other models with this casting are not as strong, so stick to this version.

1954 Chevy Panel Van
2000, Surf Rod Series
58 grams, Casting #154
Fun car from the Surf Rods series with surfboards on the roof.  Among my top 50 cars.
