An r36 should have no issues with a 1400kg van. Regs to the side, if you are responsible and leave a decent stopping distance, and dont also take off in a 'hurry', unless the car is bottoming out on gum leaves, she's apples.
If a 09 mitsubishi van has a 1200kg rating with 83kw an r36 should be able to atleast do 1400. Maybe its tyres or something. But i doubt the fuzz will pick that up.

This is absolutely terrible advice. It’s not just power at play, it’s axles, tyres, rims, shocks, springs, gearbox, the list goes on.

Overload and something happens? Not only are you liable criminally, but your insurance won’t be paying.
