No fricken way!!! It wasn't available when I got my GT. Nor were Raptors.

I always use Petro Canada, at least the stations that sell 94 octane. I think the Petro stations that used to be Sunoco stations are the ones that sell 94.

Do you have a tune for 94? I always used to get 94 at Petro.

I did allot of research and decided to switch to v power 91 from shell. One of the main reasons being that its one of the only places where you can get pure gasoline. The 94 in petro has ethanol and it has the tactrol additive which is basically junk. The 91 at shell has zero ethanol and is pure gasoline with nitrogen added to it. It actually cleans better, protects and reverses build up more effectively than anything else on the market based on several studies. Since it is pure gasoline it burns more efficiently and the engine is able to extract and convert more energy from it so the car runs better.

I found that my stock tuned 5.0 ran better on v power than it did on petro 94... its chirping the tires with greater ease and pulling a bit harder. My old man actually agrees with me too. Go do a couple fill up with v power if youre on a stock tune and try it out. I am getting better mileage too and a smother idle.

I run 94 octane ethanol free from Chevron. Last week the dummies filled every premium pump in the Vancouver area with 87 octane regular. Luckily I heard the news before filling up. I'll detune the cars to 91 and fill them with Shell for the time being. The cars love the 94 octane Chevron.

The Alcoas are officially for sale though ... she wants a different wheel, as much as she loves these ...

$4250
20x9 fronts, 20x10 rears.
With 2010-2014 TPMS sensors pre-installed (set-up was originally installed on a 2011 GT500)
Front tires: Nitto Invo 255/35/20
Rear tires: Nitto Invo 285/30/20

No center caps.

Right front wheel had 3 small (approx 1/4") nicks from an unfriendly curb.
Wheel has just been professionally repaired, re-cleared, can not tell that it ever was damaged, looks perfect.

Tires just passed NH state inspection but are definitely close to needing replacement.
They're certainly more than good enough to be able to quickly throw the wheels on a car and start enjoying them

That's funny. We also decided to sell our Shelby 50th anniv Alcoas. They look great on the cars & wipe completely clean with a dry rag.

Even though I love them, my wife found something she likes better. Funny how that works.

BTW, you can fit the 295 Invos on the back & 275 on the front.
