i've spoken with many folks on e85 and any that are street driven complain about availability. use more of it and hard to find it in a pinch.

I'm just fucking around, he wants to talk about how slow and dangerous my tunes are, not sure that's the car I'd use to make the point given its misfortune. I have no doubt you are a better tuner, you've only tuned 100x more cars.
You are right about me being a better tuner.

Not this shit again.
This is like the 'street car' vs. 'race car'. Some would classify a 5" downpipe sticking out the side of the fender as a race car.
Some would call a truck with full exhaust, but no a/c a race car (truck).
I can run super unleaded in my car, it would probably run something like 5.50's - but not a chance I'm willing to take for no good reason. Shit, I've never driven it on the street, because I got it running and never even put interior in it. That should change this season. Hell, I may even try the pump gas thing.
However, saying E85 isn't pump gas is retarded. You can put it in your camry, right out of a Kroger pump, it's pump gas!
What about the TT57 chevy, and the TT67 Chevy II - they drive across a few states on 87 octane, put race gas in them and run 6's @ 200++ (That's a different argument, but hey.. that's what we do).

Would you convert your daily to e85? It would be a mega inconvenience for me and it definitely limits mobility. If the fuel you run on is only available at a handful of stations in a city the size of DFW I would classify that as a specially fuel. Just my opinion.

My goal for next season is .70's (and possibly a .6x) on 93.
So I'm wondering how fast local cars are going on true pump gas (no e85, Shell URT, or race gas).
I don't see many pump gas cars at the track so I really have no idea.

Read into it however you'd like, coming from anyone else I'd probably not have disagreed.
Shut the fuck up already.
