A lot would depend on if this alloy can be produced by secondary means, i.e. using aluminum scrap.

Liquid aluminum reacts very violently with oxygen, it's several times more explosive than TNT. The heat energy produced from that reaction might be tappable as well.

I can just imagine the first time one of these cars gets into a collision, the tank splits open, and some fireman tries turning his water hose on it

Are you sure about that? I've handled molten aluminium to make small castings, and I'm sure it has come in contact with the oxygen in air. I do know that aluminium powder is a component of the explosive Astrolite, but that requires another exotic chemical, to be produced. This Astrolite is about twice as explosive as TNT. Perhaps you've confused the latter for the former, no?

Sure, you could spin a turbo with it maybe?

News to me. I melt Aluminum far too regularly (Unintentionally welded a worn end mill into a block just last week). Guess I'm just lucky.

I believe the ignition point of Aluminum is quite a bit higher then it's melting point.
