I have no doubt that this is possible. It's not the first time either. Oil compenies buy these guys out when this happens. It's a conspiracy!

I call bullshit!! There is no way that guy is running e85 and getting that kind of mileage. I would have believed it more if he said he was running on regular gas. BTW that guy always has cars for sale on RacingJunk he probably just trying to drum up some business.

85 mpg and 200 hp out of a 4 cylinder Honda I could believe, but not a V8 Stang

Wait a min, isn't that the guy from the Columbus swap who's been selling the valley girdle for the last 5-10 yrs. I'm almost positive its the same guy.

I drove 5 hours round trip to Napoleon to look at an 85 Capri RS this guy had for sale. The car was supposed to be mint, no rust one owner car. I told him how far I was coming to look at it to make sure he would be there. I get up there and he's nowhere to be found and the car is sitting there with the interior gutted with rust on almost every panel and the windshield is busted out with rain pouring into the interior. They were asking $4995.00 for the car and if this guy would have been there I would have punched him in the freakin mouth.

Thats F'in hilarious. There is only so much energy to be had from a gallon of E-85. Leave it to CNN to actually interview this guy.

Yes thats the inventor of the valley girdle.He is a very intelligent guy actually,but pretty much a TOOL!!! yes.He has a early 80's coupe he has raced for years smurf blue that says boss 5.0 fastest I ever seen it run was like low 11's may have went a high 10 and he tries passing it off as an 8 second car.Always made us laugh at true street events with the chute on the back,when george asked if anybody was gonna have to use the chutes he would raise his hand and then go out and run a 11.80
