Premium only. So 91+ octane. I run either Shell, Sunoco, or Marathon fuels.

As for the proposed race, would depend on conditions, driver, etc.

Premium is what I run, nothing less. Since injectors are picky on the Zs I tend not to mess with their stubborness anymore.

As for that bout of turbos...

Power to Weight in a Stock WRX STi 0.101180

Power to Weightr Stock TT 0.090936

Technically the weight of a TT stock Z should drag it down vs the Sti, however driver error, condition of car, modifications, weight reduction can all toss that around. Very close since they make, stock spec, the same HP

My ratios calculated from factory power and weight specs
