If you want to make the "E85 makes it a race car" argument, the same ridiculous thing could be said about your drag radials. So let's just go ahead and drop that crap, because cars have been sold from the factory with the ability to run E85 for YEARS. Unless of course you consider a Ford Taurus to be a race car

.A 440+rwhp bolt-on ls6 would sound good to me!

I could do oct 7. I was actually trying to find a place to go on sunday. Should be cool, but it looks like the tracks have some kind of event happening. I'm suppose to go 4wheeling with my neighbors up in Kitzmiller MD, but it looks like it might be raining up there on Sun.

If I would have to keep a barrel of fuel at my house to be able to drive it....then yes it would be more of a race car than a street car. There are no e85 stations with in 50 miles of me. The tune would also have to be changed to take advantage of the fuel (similar to a race gas tune). My car nore any other performance cars come from the factory e85 capable that I know of. I wish it was around here and more accesible everywhere.

Maybe you just live in a shitty place, not my problem. Nor is it the problem of anybody else in a better part of the country that has E85 pumps all over the place. I guess we need to tell all of those people with Flex Fuel Tauruses and Tahoes that they drive race cars.

Hey woah, Closest e85 pump to me is like 50 miles away in Boston. I would have to say the area of NH I live in is far from shitty. I will say that e85 isnt race gas tho. Thats all I'm adding to this lol

Irun11's brought it up. I stated the the facts. If 2 identical cars raced, 1 on e85 and 1 on pump the one on e85 should win. The fuel clearly has a advantage and that's all I'm trying to decipher. Why is that so hard to admit? The e85 car will also be a pita to drive in certain area's and the tune would need changed to go back to 93.....which would also be true for a race gas car.

I would have to run it with the 18's on it again. It has changed to much since the last time I ran it. I can believe your so dumb to note the difference between wearing your tires faster then needing gas when your out on the road, not being able to find it and walking home. Big difference between that and tire wear.

My nittos do fine in the rain. Constantly ****** with a tune isn't what I call a dd.....I'd call that a pain in the ***. Well now I can't go anywhere with out my laptop. You don't understand. I don't constantly duck with my car. I do **** to it every now and again that I want done. Other than that I drive it. The problem is.....you can't get there in your acura
