Whenever you are thinking of a showdown with a minivan, pause to remember
that you have the distinct advantage of intimidation.  Most minivan drivers
think twice before taking on what looks (and sounds) like such an exotic.
I suggest you sit at the lights, blip the throttle and be content to ease
casually away from the intersection - saving strain on both your fragile
differential and your ego.
BTW, I use the opposite tactic with my Q ship Maxima.  A lot of drivers
have underestimated that machine at a stoplight dual.  And it's got 6
cylinders, too.
