@malbert34 we were going to use the crops as fuel to get the crops to the poor countries, but we made too much fuel, didnt have crops left to feed them, and sold it mixed with petroleum and called it E85
@malbert34 The corn used for current Ethanol production is NOT food grade, but instead is feedstock. That means it's only good as livestock feed, the only thing used is the starches, the proteins (the real feed value) are saved and sold to local farmers as FEED for their cattle. Which, by the way, is a VERY high quality feedstock.
The Viper was Twin Turbocharged. With the right build the Viper can easily exceed 1500+ horsepower. Hennessey offers Twin Turbo'ed Vipers to the general public, which I believe that he BROKE this record above in one of his hitting 225 MPH in 1 MILE.
Yeah he also believes the belowand has been linked to the Khaddafi Prize. On this point he is incorrect and misinformed about the cause of food shortage.
According to The Weekly Standard, Ziegler believes that the United States is an "'imperialist dictatorship' that is guilty, among other atrocities, of 'genocide' against the people of Cuba by means of its trade embargo." [5]
Jean Ziegler, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, who has called on governments to temporarily stop the drive for biofuel production. The sociology professor at the University of Geneva and the University of Sorbonne branded the production of biofuels a "crime against humanity" at a time when land, produce and investments are being diverted from food production despite widespread hunger in some parts of the world.
Why are we using crops to power cars that could otherwise be used to feed the people in poor countries?

Amazing!! How the hell did you get that much horsepower with a biofuel engine?

Thanks! E85 is 105 octane so ran twin turbos and lots of modifications :)

e85 is 105 octane and burns relatively cool which means you can run a lot of boost

Right except he did this in a *race* car not a street car. The e85viper is street legal.

What biofuel was used to make the 85%? Corn? Waste? Any idea?
Thanks

Right now it is likely corn but the industry is moving to cellulosic which comes from corn and wheat stalks
kaj3 4 years ago
yes. I just wanted to know what they used on the car in the video. Not the industry's usage but in the record breaking vehicle.
Dad103 4 years ago
I don't know we just pumped the fuel into the car from a E85 pump at the gas station.

Maybe appears slow because has lots of terrain to cover to reach to the camera?...220 mph are not enough good for you? :?
Just wondering :-)
Ziofbv 4 years ago
Yes...220 mph is not good enough for me. And its not the camera and all the terrain it has to cover.
mukup1 4 years ago
Remember the camera has to be quite far away to film this.. Anyway if it isn't fast enough then beat our record :)
