Message	I used to think E85 was over-hyped too. Then I started working at a shop that uses it as much as possible, and saw firsthand how much of a difference it makes. We have three (3) 55-gallon drums of VP 110 race fuel at the shop. It now ONLY gets used for our shifters because it's just not worth the ~$16/gal price when ~$3/gal E85 gives us the same end result. But, really, I don't care whether you're convinced or not. I've posted here a few dynoes comparing a car on pump to E85 just minutes apart, so if you're really that interested feel free to find them. If you then try to claim the Z32 is the only turbo car made that doesn't respond to E85, then you're just being ignorant for the sake of being a dick. Which is cool, I suppose.
