Solely E85, what'd that do for you with no turbo to increase boost? I can't see a few degrees of timing being worth the extra effort. Have you pulled the fuel pump lately?

OP, you are going to have a hard time getting an apples to apples comparison from this crowd. You should narrow it down very specifically.

For example:
CRITERIA:
Engine =V6, Inline 6 or Flat 6
Engine Technology = Internal Combustion Engine
Fuel = High Quality North American Gasoline
Forced Induction = No
Drive Train = RWD
Engine Location = Front
Transmission = Manual, Automatic, or Manumatic
Trim = Base, Sport, or Specialty Model
Year in Production = First, Second, or Third Year
Price Range = $25K - $55K
Weight of Car = <3500 lbs, >3500 lbs

These are all key factors when comparing cars and performance / value. I really like the fact that it took several years for any cars in the $30K range to catch up to the performance value that the Z brought to the table back in late 2008.

Yep. Agreed on your extra categories.
