may be because methanol is cheaper than race fuel and optimax and you get better performance with it
Unless of course you spill power steering fluid in your tank

According to the GTR website the RC Developments Evo has run with methanol for the last 2 years.

Its who crosses the line first, so if you break a driveshaft then you can loose the event in the final to a much slower car!

yeah hope andy can beat that green thing be a hell of an achievment if he can or even get close to it don't no prices but what makes andys cars even better is the fact that with in reason his cars a built on a reasonable budget i'm sure i read somewhere that norris evo was including labour was around 80grand u could spend a million quid and have the fastest car in the world but sure people repect a person for going out there and buiding it himself , not that i'm knocking norris his car is gorgeous just andy is going to have his work cut out if the rumours about how fast the evo are are true

The Norris car wont be at SSO will it?
I would say Andy's car has been done on a budget last year and this, its just the budget is far greater than the old Andy Forrest Budget.
Admittedly, i doubt its Norris budget level, but it will be a good few thousand!

norris's car
I think your being very optimistic that the evo 9 swb car will not produce the fiqures, it ran 9.72 on its first day out in october, with only 2.0 bar of boost, and on 19'' avon zzr tyres, not the 15'' drag radials it needs to get the better times, i am confident it can knock some time off yet, the main man though has to be keith cowies skyline, at 1000 bhp+ in a car that weighs a shade over 1000 kg, awesome, will be good to see it run for the first time at elvington on sunday, new 3 litre engine and better gearbox,

I just bought a new set of 7x15" wheels off ebay for £160/set delivered
My new radiator cost £45 from the same place.
New exhaust manifold is a chopped up GT spec manifold.
New exhaust system is a Lateral systems back box.
My 3x fuel pumps cost a total of £200
My mate welded up some new bits onto the intake manifold.
The engine is last years unit, unchanged.
Last years drag tyres.
Gearbox is over 2 years old now.
Same suspension has been on the car 3 years and it was S/H then !
Standalone dash unit was cheaper than a set of Defi's.
Spent a fortune on tarty pipes and fittings though

I guess you must know how near to the 'perfect' launch / run you have come and also if the engine can be tweaked to give any further gains.
Really looking forward to seeing this beast in action on Sunday. Best of luck!
The "tarty pipes and fittings" look awsome bytheway!
