Green Rod: 600 HP Natural Gas Powered Hot Rod
Many of the advancements made through racing and hot rodding have been passed down to the passenger car segment. Nothing quite stimulates innovation like pushing a vehicle to its limits. AFVTech, an alternative-fuels conversion company, is building a compressed natural gas (CNG) hot rod based on the classic ‘33 Ford coupe.
Equipped with a hand built LS7 engine (the same motor found in the Z06 but massaged to run on higher-octane CNG), AFVTech expects their Green Rod to make 600 horsepower.

What’s green about a car that has 600HP and is built for racing?
I don’t care if the engine runs on rabbit poop. Racing and high HP engines are the opposite of Green.
