A quick Google search would show you that c85 is extremely similar to FTW purple. It's a highly oxygenated ethanol race fuel. It's not just more consisentent e85.

UP TO 4% more power, derp. If a car gains 12whp from e85. Then it would gain up to another 1/2 whp from c85. So an extra 1/2 hp makes it "cheater fuel". Go fist yourself, twerp.

people are gaining ~20 hp over regular e85 with purple. this c85 gets you almost nothing. even the manufacturer admits its worth almost nothing best case scenario

the only way it would be worth anything is a batch of winter blend 51% vs some c85. that should be worth a few ponies

He can come in here and say it himself. You already made yourself look like an *** on the ported heads.

Glad we could all agree c85 is a better fuel than e85.

I asked for proof and someone else had to chime in and give it. Are you too stupid to find a link to Bambi saying that? Or are you just full of **** AGAIN.

So that extra 1/2 hp caused the 5th gen to freight train the **** out of those 5.blows? Bahahahaha

I like that he has the speedo on the video so you can easily prove Jake wrong. 143 mph and no 5th gen in sight.

You can't do math because you think 4% of ~500 is 0.5.

C85 better be better than E85...it's the same price as race gas.

Be pretty dumb to run it if it's the same as E85. lol
