Another quick question- do you guys put 91 or 93 in your cars, I know I can get 91 around here in CT so I was wondering if there was a difference as far as knock goes, I dont really want to be spending almost 2.60/gallon on gas, but I guess if thats what it takes, then that is what I have to put.

Almost all modern cars now do not have a distributor.

round here best you can get (other than racing fuel) is 91, so that's what I run for 11 months the other month, I put racing fuel at between 104-108 octane and throw a fuel system cleaner in the tank I also change the fuel filter b4 and after I am done with my "hell month". I thin k that it's has helped a lot on the prevention of buildup of crap in the fuel system. does anybody else do this or anything like this

There is no badging anywhere. Not even the "GrandPrix" on the trunk.

Yeah, you might want to scrape the "borla" stickers off the back side windows, other than that it's a good looking car.
