Whats this E85?

Everytime I drive a car that says flex-fuel I just shove canned corn into the gas-tank.

Siriusly.Andrew · 02-04-2010, 07:16 PM

^ Most mini-vans have it, but I'm clueless as to what it is and how it benefits a vehicle thats Flex-Fuel compliant.

Matador · 02-04-2010, 07:20 PM

E85 has better anti-knock properties, and is cheap, but it cannot produce the same amount of energy per unit volume as "normal" fuel, making it less EFFICIENT (performance is all about efficiency, that is why lighter is always better), not to mention that it is absolutely RETARDED to want a fuel based on an essential food source. Wish to continue in another thread?

Power =/= performance.
Fail.

im not really one to know about the technical stuff so here is what i want:

lightweight with a fair bit of power nothing to ridiculous i think 2600lbs and ~200hp
feel nimble but still wanting the back end to step out
a/c, power windows and space in the back to keep the missus from complaining
it has to be high revving the sound of a high revving toyota engine has always been beautiful i hope the can capture this in this engine
and most important of all it has to be FUN!!

went on a thrash session with my mate in his 86 the day before he put it for sale and with the exception of my VL it was the most fun ive ever had driving a car

iirc, it's not going to be 50/50 weight.

Well because toyota officially stated that they wanted this thing to be a drifter, hence the off weight distrib

Axel · 02-06-2010, 11:19 PM

^^ because the chief engineer said so, that's why! (says it wouldn't be best for drifting).
