    Ex-MS Employee Has the World's Fastest Ethanol-Based Car

    Karl Jacob, an ex-Microsoft employee, has the world's fastest ethanol-based car. He took his run-of-the-mill Dodge Viper and had it converted from a regular gas guzzling monster to an ethanol chugger.

How much did this conversion end up costing Jacob? A paltry $200,000. [CNet]
