[QUOTE="redmax51, post: 1410907, member: 363"] It does, but the engines are usually dedicated alcohol engines and fuel systems and after racing the entire fuel system is drained.Not very practical for a day to day driver.Then there's the consumption issue.We used to go up 10 jet sizes,a huge increase,on carb equiped cars,motorcycles and atv's.There's also a problem with maintaining engine heat,alcohol is "self cooling".That's why top alcohol funny cars and dragsters make long burnouts to build engine heat,not just to heat the tires.Maybe some day they will figure a way but right now it has too many problems.
