An Honest 06 GTO vs 5th Gen SS Race
This race was done on 4 Dec 2011
Me on 89 Octane too. Yeah just for back and forth to work fuel..
This morning at about 5:30, I was heading down Grand Ave when a dark colored 5th Gen SS Camaro pulled up and we were messing around and got stopped at a light. When the light turned green, I lightly let out to not spin due to it being damp. Well for almost a half mile I was about a car and a half in front but then he started to gain. So I would have taken the 1/4 mile racing this guy. We were hauling *** too. A win depending how long we were going to race for I guess.
Im not sure what my car will trap but Im pretty happy with this win.

Cant comfirm it myself but ive been doing this for years. I drive farther with 91 octane then i do with 87 to a full tank. Meaning i get more miles to a full tank on higher octane and to me comes out to be the same as far as cost.

Yeah sounds like an excuse man. So with that in mind put good gas in it and quit making excuses. he may have running on diesel fuel, have a family of illegal immagrants in the trunk, a huge cast on his right foot, no nawz and took all his stickers off that morning (50 hp).

U are correct. Most people still don't know about that. I defend no excuse.....lol. it does make a difference tho. On the l99s that's like a 6-9* reduction in timing. May car stock was 1 sec faster 0-100 on the datalog after the fuse pull. Anyone who tunes for low octane is leaving power on the tabke, but should be throwing their low octane tube out as a disclaimer...lol.

Dont put shitty gas in and no excuse needed. If you lose on the shitty gas tune dont say anything about it, run what u brung. Im sorry guys seems like everytime i read about somebody losing a race there is a "reason" for it. Cant be the other guy has a faster car/better driver.

There is also a difference between reasons and excuses. I personally always look for reasons so I can figure it out and make it better.
