haha pretty sure that will burn all of your fuel components the minute your turn your key onto 'on' and the fuel pump primes.

Would look at using it for burnouts/drags. Would it do a heap of damage to engine?

Man you would want to have a good tuner.

low altitude avgas can give great benifits or can give you **** benifits depending on the blend its made to not evaporate so it doesnt fume in planes at altitude it can burn to slow in road vehicles .its designed to run at one constant rpm so acceleration can be effected but there is gains to be had from it on a high comp engine tuned to suit.we will be running it in all our drag cars just so we can up the timing some more

Avgas has lead in it so it could damage your oxygen sensors and cat converters if you are running them. Fuel economy will be worse than running unleaded pump fuel. Your engine will have to be tuned to run on it. When i ran it in my gocart years ago i had to open up the jets in the carby a tad because avgas made it run slightly lean. You can run higher compression with avgas or advance your ignition timing.
