Hot weather + methanol = doesn't alter the car as much

Car is probably a tad weaker but it still pulls like a raped ape

I'm thinking it was the Wanna Go Fast Half Mile event in Ocala.
Yup we did. It was a fun event....they didn't really push much for wearing helmet so I was bad and went without it. My buddy's E85 GTR him and I ran each other a lot. He hit the finish before me but I always had a higher MPH.

Looking for videos here ya go from January. Hit over 160 every run launching on street tires.

Count me in for a get together sometime BTW...

My car lost 40 Hp with a 25 Degree increase in Ambient Air Temperature. That is almost a .50 of a second in the quarter mile.

Car is running Great! There are fumes at traffic lights with the windows down. I am not the guy to ask though because all my other cars were Old Muscle Cars and Hot Rods with No Cats. So I am Immune to It!

the cars don't smell that bad under boost. I smell more methanol than fuel these days.

Day-to-day you never smell it. Hit the gas and then stop the car quickly, yes you'll smell it a little. Get on it and keep driving along no smell. It's not that bad

You only smell it for the first 10 minutes of driving and then it goes away after it has attacked your nervous system. You stop smelling the fumes as you slip into a coma. It gives you a condition on Earth Day. You start planting more trees in the yard. You Snap out of it as soon as you hit Boost. Then you say Screw Going Green!

Enjoyed this thread. Been talking to Matt and Doug about an ECS kit for mine. At what power level do the cats become a risk? I would love to keep em if possible. If not hp>cats so they would have to go.

Matt told me 700 RWHP and the use of Meth does not help the situation.

Thanks for the info. I had a Camaro that went 10.12@133 on n2o and one of the things that got the most compliments was how quiet it was. I was running the Arh headers and catted y-pipe with Hooker cat back. It had an awesome sound to it but was really quiet compared to other cars even close to my et. Would love to do something similar with the Vette because we like to take trips in it, but not at the risk of melting the cats down.
