So what do you drive that is 600+ HP and E85?

nothing, 08 vette. thinking of going E85, not nearly as much advantage NA though.

it's a no brainer for any boosted application though if you can get the stuff

e85 is fantastic if you're lazy and don't want to run a meth setup and even better if there's somewhere to get some close by

ADVANCE ALL THE TIMING!

what? too lazy? meth is just fine, however if it fails under wot, you can pop your motor, not gonna happen with e85.

Buddy just bought a used 05 cts-v .. black on black, 15% tint, and everything is blacked out with black rims, debadged as well.

picked it up for 17k~ with 54k on the clock. owner only drove it in the summer, garaged in the winter.

It's fast, that's for sure.

6 speed clutch, it's different...never knew that had a solenoid to force you into 4th gear at low rpm's coming from 2nd or 1st.

same as vettes. there's a CAGS defeat for it. anyways, if you go above 2.5k rps, it will allow you to shift to 2nd
