An impressive series, Paul. What a mighty beast. I'm surprised it could be
street legal.

Subject: PESO: Alcohol Burner
Shot this supercharged Camaro at dawn yesterday for Hagerty. It’s an
interesting car, engineered by an interesting guy — a long time Chevy
mechanic who seems to have an engineer’e instincts for making things work.
He runs the car with about 15 pounds of boost and moderately high
compression on E85 fuel, which is 85% ethanol and dirt cheap compared to
high octane gasoline. The alcohol is very friendly to an engine like this
with high cylinder pressure, and they guy has it tuned perfectly it would
seem. He drives it on the street on a regular basis with his german shepherd
riding shotgun.. On a chassid dyno it registered 800 horsepower at the rear
wheels, but it’s as civilized as one could ask for. Loud, but mannerly.
