lol no one mixes E85 with anything, he's talking about the Ethanol content in the fuel (mixes/blend). E85 is called E85 because it is 85% Ethanol and gasoline. If it is E70 (70%) Ethanol it is inconsistent and there for a risk at such a high power level. There are ACTUAL RACE gas versions of the pump gas E85 for example E98 or E100 or E85R. Buying it in a drum would eliminate the need to test or fear of the blend from the pump, but that doesn't make it an ACTUAL race fuel. If you bought a 55 gallon drum of 93 would that make 93 race gas? No. E85 has alot of benefits which weren't even intended for racing, its just an overall better gasoline. VP race fuel, and other race gases were INTENDED and made with performance in mind. E85 is just a cheaper fuel, that just so happens to have its pros over 93. Similar to choosing 93 over 89 it has its pros over 89 doesn't necessarily make it a race oriented fuel though right?

Also, it doesn't take but 2 mins to put my 93oct tune in and I would still easily drag your piece of **** down the track or the street. You can call me or my car all the names you want, it won't make your turd any faster.

I wasn't calling you an idiot, I was correcting your grammar in the statement where you called me one. Man you're retarded, or maybe I should put "your" so you can understand it.

Well if you ever get close enough we'll have to find out.
Great street car you have there....constantly changing tunes to keep that heap alive. My guess is when you ran your #'s it was gutted to. Probably only had 1 seat and had a headlight missing for sure no a/c and more than likely on a full slick. So your draggin half a car around and not in street trim to do that. You stated you gained 100hp on e85. So now your gonna go back to 93 and still drag me.....good luck with that ****. You ain't foolin no one.
SRK needs to have meet. But not just for drag racing. We need a slamon and a little autocross course to, a braking challenge would be good. Combined least amount of time wins.
Edit......50-100 mile cruise and stop at sheetz to top off with gas and no icing down.....**** don't even turn the car off the whole time.....lmao
That's how I like run.

I remember some old guy who would work on rotarys and hondas was making fun of me and my buddy for trying to do E85 on stock lines (he calls me E85 lol) and we showed up to his shop on stock everything but injectors and he didn't believe it!

I wasn't trying to Internet race anyone. I was simply stating my experiences with ethanol earlier and you call me an idiot and my car a piece of ****. Then after it comes out that my car is much faster, you start back peddling and ranting about how it's gutted, slicks, racecar, etc. None of which you have a clue about.

Btw, two hptuners files. One for e85 and the other for 93octane. I can pump whichever and flash my car faster than the reciept prints.

The truth of the matter is that you will criticize anyone for running something like e85 for making power while maintaining safety. If you had an FI fbody you'd be singing a different tune. Try pawning that **** off in the FI section here and see how quickly people laugh at you because those that have access to it would use it in a heart beat. E85 is poor mans racegas for FI cars. Just because your car couldn't benefit from running it doesn't mean you are any bit righteous for criticizing others who have big gains.
