Default Green Cobra....vegatable oil waste as fuel...

Ok here is one for you guys... I mentioned a green cobra for New York Guy and nobody bit.

Well what about a Cobra with a diesel engine which could be fueled by waste vegetable oil. Certainly not my field of expertise but I do read across the board when it comes to racing and innovation.

This year Madza is running diesel power(highly modified) in their LMP2 racer. This is not the current intel but from last year. Understand the engine shakes a lot.

Mazda returning to LMP2 competition with diesel power in 2014 Tudor United SportsCar Championship - Autoweek


So what about a diesel powered Cobra parked right next to your Chevy powered Continuation Cobra Replica/reissue in your garage?

I'm not sure a Cobra needs an engine that weighs 800 - 900 lbs. %

+ the weight of the trans for a diesel. Don't believe they are light.
