If you can afford the car, you can afford the gas.It appears all that power is good for sucking up your gas way faster. Watched this video of the Speed Phenom kid on the track at Button Willow, he burned up a tank of fuel in one 20 minute session. So if it was e85 he'd only make it about half a session on a tank is that correct? That gets to be a pretty expensive track day if you run 5-6 sessions. I usually get 2 sessions per tank running 91 on my Roush and got 2 per tank at Road America on the 2018 PP1 as well.
I get that, but damn that thing is just gulping it up, and the one I mentioned is stock. This Lund tuned one with the larger injectors, I'd like to know the mpg on that just on the street. Best mpg my Roush ever had was about 22, I avg. about 18 and I though that was bad. Think I paid $2.39 for 89 octane on my van a couple days ago here in MN, 91 would probably be $2.60 or so. Assuming the GT500 has a 16 gallon tank, at $2.60 it would cost me roughly $250 dollars in gas for one 6 session track day at BIR. Guess I won't be buying one of those anytime soon.If you can afford the car, you can afford the gas.
My Edelbrock in a 2005 on E85 will get 15 mpg on the highway. E85 is about $1 a gallon less than 93 octane which I was running. 87 octane jumped to $2.95 today. E85 was $2.65. 2-3 mpg on the track seams about right.I get that, but damn that thing is just gulping it up, and the one I mentioned is stock.

MPG on stock GT500 is listed at 12 city 18 hwy. Would be about 2.5 mpg on the track.
I only checked my Roush 1 time at Road America and I got 5 mpg on 93. I can only assume from video and stats above the GT500 would get half of that on 93. E85 would be less than that, so you wouldn't even make it one session on a tank. You'd spend more time driving to the gas station than on track.My Edelbrock in a 2005 on E85 will get 15 mpg on the highway.

Blackhawk has gas pumps next to track.I only checked my Roush 1 time at Road America and I got 5 mpg on 93. I can only assume from video and stats above the GT500 would get half of that on 93.

Many tracks have pumps right at the track, but their prices are usually much higher than outside the track, and it's still added time you have to spend fueling. At BIR a couple years ago VP Racing Fuels opened a station literally right outside the gate which is very convenient, you don't even get on a road to get to it. Road America has pumps but it's 105 octane and it was $9.00 a gallon. I drive a couple miles to Elkhart Lake for gas, most others do as well.Blackhawk has gas pumps next to track.
I sent you a pm.$9.00 a gallon for 105 octane is cheap.
Anyway, if your car is producing 900 RWHP, all that energy has to come from someplace. Usually, copious amounts of fuel.
Do you have any knowledge of the LAPS track day events? They are going to RA twice and Autobahn 9 times in the coming year. I’m less than an hour away from Autobahn.https://lapstrackdays.com/
Are they still using the flat-plane crank? Sounds like it.
No, the GT500 uses a standard cross plane crank ...
