Biodiesel Chevy Impala
This was so awesome that I had to post it:
Quote is care of Daily Kos . The article is a great read about a guy with a grade eight education that can take a gas guzzler like an Impala and change it in to an eight hundred horsepower care that uses 9.4L/100Km (twenty five miles per gallon). Amazing. I want that car. Read the article. The stuff he does with Hummers is super rad. Check out the Impala beating a Lamborghini in a drag race.

Goodwin's feats of engineering have become gradually more visible over the past year. Last summer, Imperium Renewables contacted MTV's show Pimp My Ride about creating an Earth Day special in which Goodwin would convert a muscle car to run on biodiesel. The show chose a '65 Chevy Impala, and when the conversion was done, he'd doubled its mileage to 25 mpg and increased its pull from 250 to 800 horsepower. As a stunt, MTV drag-raced the Impala against a Lamborghini on California's Pomona Raceway. "The Impala blew the Lamborghini away," says Kevin Kluemper, the lead calibration engineer for GM's Allison transmission unit, who'd flown down to help with the conversion.
