I want to occasionally race to whats the best oil that comes out of stores to run also using mobil 1 filter
Don't forget the stickers, man - they add like 30 horsepower!
I am SO sick of kids with 140hp 'buzz boxes' that think they have a race car b/c they add an intake and a chip.....
Just run ANY 5W-30...you can't drive it hard enought to actually hurt it!
Yep. Key words are "kids" and "think". It is more fun to drive a slow car fast, then it is to drive a fast car slow, even if they result in the same acceleration and speed.
I am fine with the idea of funning with the little Hondas and slapping on stickers, but it offends me when one removes the cat, and puts on a coffee can exhaust. Same goes for the idiots that run straight pipe exhaust on their 350 sbc "hot rod" pickups around here as well.
