I'm down for a drive up to the Bay Area again!

Speaking of highway runs, after everyone left heezy545i and I did some rolling launches. Our cars are evenly matched so it came down to who had the jump first and driver skills. Heezy545i won some and so did I. Of course, I mixed racing fuel with premium.

It would indeed appear that 95.5 octane does make a difference up top. We were side-by-side and towards the end of 3rd and beginning of 4th I pulled away. Where I routinely got beat was down low. The SMG is not a good transmission from a dig or from a roll less than 50 mph.
