Austin, TX. COTA this weekend.
Just saying you can still have fun!

Ugh, I hate how they gouge you at the track but I guess it's not worth the hassle of driving 10 minutes (round trip) to next closest station that doesn't.

ECR is the best in this regard. Basically same price as average premium elsewhere.

No kidding! $4.09 is how much it is at the cheap gas stations for 87 regular unleaded around the Bay Area.

FormulaMMM · 06-08-2021, 07:18 AM

That's cheap! I'd take that all day. $7/gallon for 93 at Sebring.

dvas · 06-08-2021, 08:45 AM

$7 for 93 at Limerock Park.

Was like $12 for 100 last time I was there

This is what's so awesome about the M3, can bring 2 VP 5-gallon jugs (hoses detached) along with toolbox and a toolbag, jack, folding chairs all in the trunk, 4 track wheels in the backseat, medium size igloo cooler behind the passenger seat pushed all the way forward.

Freakin' incredible. And then go pass a bunch of P-cars on track

Noticeable? Never tried it. Might grab some gallons for a session sometime.

I tried a 1/4 tank of 100 when I was at thunderhill one time. Could definitely tell there was some extra sauce.

Enough sauce to see it in data?

No difference for the M4 - engine runs cold as ice.

Big difference for the Z06 - temps were ridiculous and kept getting timing pulled with 93.

No power gains just prevented ECU from pulling power on the Vette

Damn... then you would have needed some of the 100 last weekend for sure. Was there in a Veloster N

Track temps must have been 120-130 by the afternoon. Oil temps up to around 260 in that thing but stayed stable there. Pretty impressive considering time under full throttle (damn near constant).

M4 cooling is something else.

Yeah, really is unbelievable.

I would have been ok with 230 oil temps and 220 water temps if they diverted some of that cooling to the brakes and DCT lol.
