Fastest ethanol car Videos

+andrewjamesmithsonOK thanks.

+Wakethefuckup67 no 110 super turbo 1400

+andrewjamesmithson On E85..?

people just dont understand how fast a 10 second car is! if this was a manual it would be an animal to control

@xxxxdarksidexxxx "i said to myself 302, supercharges, foxbody ..." Thats YOUR words and i'm 6 years into a doctorate in pharmacy, i think im doing okay in school. Try posting things that make sense to people, other than what goes on in your head.. and if you knew shit about racing you would say the car wieghts about 3200 lbs and the car most likely makes upwards of 550 therefore it will run a 10.4-10.5 w/o driver error and converter/clutch slippage, "goddam boy everybody know dat" - joe dirt

Original T-45??? My original T-45 wasnt up to handling my 97 cobra original 305 factory hp. I know Tremec made a new version of the T-45 mid way through 98 becuase the the earlier Borg Warner versions were crap as i have stated. Still Its hard to believe even that would stand up to that kind of abuse.

it takes a lot to make 10's. at least 500hp to the wheels. given that ferraris have that kind of power for 300k i think this guy did pretty good for a 4.6 7k mustang with less cylinders on fairly low boost seeing as a 4.6 can run 8lbs stock. so ya. don't hate.. appreciate. lol

"That thing took off pretty good" ?!?! C'mon Herring - that thing FREAKING LAUNCHED and smoked you guys by a second and a half!! That E85 is some wicked stuff - 105 octane and probably a buck a gallon cheaper than 91 octane 'premium' gas. Good job Steve!

These GM guys are always thinking the Mustangs are slower than they are. Then they always think anything GM is faster than it is. Typical. There's another video when they were off by 2+ seconds and another where they're off by over 4 seconds. Pretty sad.

Why does Ken Herring act as if he is the gift to that show? Half of the time the contestants themselves are more entertaining and put more effort into it than he does! They need a new "resident expert" for better ratings.....

Evidently these bastards don't know much about live-axle cars. Solid rear axle, 3.73s, + skinnies & tire = WICKED drag performance! I guessed 11.50 at 120ish. I was way off too. This less than attractive Mustang is the s**t!

@Turbo88Coupe1 I never said it was either of those, what I said was to myself which allowed me to guess around the around the correct time. Stop ditching english class in your public enslavement camp aka school.

@switchgrassfuel Well, then, you sir are a total dick! Count me jealous over here in Northern California, where 91* Octane is supposed to be some kind of treat?? WTF? I guessed 10.90's too, props to that driver.

I'm a chevy guy, but I really have to hand it to the Ford guy's With a turbo, there are very few that can touch them on the street. If I had a chance to race one, the first thing I would ask is Got a turbo"???

i said to myself 302, supercharges 15psi, fox body it'll go 10.5 @ 130's, I was close! Looks like a 11 or 12 second runner but 15 psi on a v8 supercharger tells the story alone am I missing something here?

@ngiotta They just guessing times they think the car will run. It is not like they will be perfect. It is all about what the driver/owner tells them when they ask them questions.

WOW did i miss something in the video its a 4.6 sn95 version2 not a foxbody or a freakin 302 jesus christ btw u should just leave comments if u know wut ur talking about

Sugar cane actually makes the best Ethanol, we need to get on that sugar cane juice, the Brazilians have more than half their street cars running straight alcohol.

Todd says 11.99 worth while laughing , Herring says...Gonna have to hook up for his 11.95 These guys crack me up. That Mustang just blew them all away!!!!

Those that think they can win the money GET ON PASSTIME and find out how good THEY really are. No excuses, no armchair contestants, get on the show.

I don't know their backgrounds, but they usually seem to be way off on their times, and they always ask irrelevant questions most the time I think.

15 lbs of boost ken herring, idiot!!! just because its not a chevy doesnt mean its slow, not saying 11's are slow but you know what i mean.

hurr durr, i guessed it was way faster then they did, so im smarter then they are! the title of the video would be a little of a hint

15 lbs of boost? I guessed 10.5. My n/a could run 12's easy, I couldn't justify a supercharged pony doing anything that slow.

if ur saying they thought it was another slow home built mustang you might be right, but Ken is almost always on point.

He has run his best times at heathcote. 8.6@161. Also his best 60ft. 

The Mustang has a 6-point cage, have a close look on the last run you can see it inside.

at least beater bomb is still running a V8... idk the sound just doesnt match the car

What time is the quickest G series?

Just traction is limited when you have heaps of horsepower to the rear, and your tires arent sticking correctly/sticking at all. I know 200+ kw isnt that much for a car, but for a car this light, this small well then its alot especially with 25+pound boost.

LOL!!!

It's Ok. I did it :)

Me, too. I hope i have enough money to get one for myself.

because it's very well tuned. but that's the generaly a characteristic of inline 6 engines. they're smooth as fuck

+quinnjohn1Its not a cost issue. A good running twin cam engine can be picked up as a base for $200 from every wrecker in the country, valves cost sweet fuck all as does 1 extra camshaft, it would literally be nothing relative to the cost of build for this car. Also having enough torque is at the bottom of the list of problems for any of these engines, its just the way this car was developed not to mention some people love sticking with sohc heads.

He has been running sohc for years now y change something that works, was on LPG for a long time always loved this car

These days with modern management systems I think it is more of a cost issue than a performance one, 2 camshafts and 24 valves will be more expensive than 1 camshaft and 12 valves. In the '90's (not as advanced management) when dohc first started to become more common place here in the UK, a dohc engine gave better top end performance and economy but sohc engines could give better low end torque. The Ford CVH and zetec engines are a good example of this. A CVH (sohc 8 valve) head could be modified to fit a zetec (dohc 16 valve) bottom end. People would put the CVH head (usually when wanting to run a turbo) on the zetec block and that would give much better torque figures than just turboing the complete zetec. A magazine (either Fast Ford, Fast Car or Performance Ford mag) did a direct comparison, same block, same turbo, same injectors etc but with the different heads and the full zetec turbo gave about 10% more peak BHP but the CVH head gave about 12% better torque for the same fuel flow and boost pressure. The Zetec performed better everywhere above 4500 rpm on their dyno tests. 

But he can probably only go out in less than 2 ft seas
