This is heartbreaking.
Sure a kid can get into trouble with a Citroen 2CV, but crazy horsepower magnifies mistakes with tragic consequences.
While in grad school, I subbed at a high school in Bloomfield Hills, MI. The student parking lot daily contained Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches and Corvettes, which I felt was irresponsible. Not many high schoolers can resist the peer pressure to, "Let's see what this'll do . . . " while making a lunch run. Its a miracle there weren't more problems.
That said from someone who drove a 150 hp Corvair powered '61 VW bug in college . . . pass anything but a gas station. What were my parents thinking?

Marty,
Whatever unit of measure you use for the 50/50 H20/alcohol mixture, the Cyastat SN should 0.5% of the total H20/alcohol volume. For example, 100 tsp = 2.08333 cups., therefore, 0.5% of 2 cups = 0.5 tsp (Yes, I know it becomes 2 cups plus the amount of Cyastat, but let's not be too anal). If you want the 50/50 to be only 1 cup, then 0.25 tsp = 0.5% (approximately, but close enough).
Good luck and please share your results.
