Yes, love it on the track. Plus you get "launch control" for the dragstrip, standing starts, leaving pit boxes, or just hooning. Oh yeah, and it's warrantied.

I am jealous Rick! I rarely run into 93 (laced w/ ethanol) and even then my boss knocks like crazy upon throttle tip in. But I still putt around town to listen to the idle at stop lights :)

You NEED 93 with Trackey? If that's the case there's little point in getting it for me because I have never seen a gas station that has 93 here in the Bay Area.
 
I use track key 99% of the time. I'm lucky, i use 93 octaine at 100% gasoline, and boy will she talk to ya. The gas station is only 1.5 miles from the house. It cost a little more but her chatter is worth it.

91. No 93 in many states including CA.

There is 100 in a few places in the bay, man up ;D

I was a little worried at first, but I use gas from the Chevron down the street from me and have never had it knock even when I let someone drive it and they lug it. Just get gas from a busy station so there is a lot of turn over. Never get gas at the station across from Alice's, the one time I used it my bike knocked so hard I just tossed it in neutral to get down the hill then drained the gas and refilled.

Where? I haven't seen it. pure-gas.org is depressing as well by the way. 5 stations in the entire state of California. WTF... :-\
 
There used to be a bunch of them, I would get a can full for track days and mix in a little at each fill up on the turbo car as a safety net. I went to the 76 on Woodside Road in Redwood City. I just looked at the sunoco website and it doesn't show them anymore. There was always a line into the street during peak hours, don't know if they still have it as the turbo found a new home a few years ago and it is a waste of money on my other cars.

The site I used to use to find them is gone too, and sunoco says the 260 GT (100 octane oxygenated unleaded) is no longer street legal in CA. Sucks.
