yeah, my friend's neighbor's pool guy's dog's mother's owner said royal purple sucks too

seriously, i used it in my trans-am, no complaints at all. i run mobil 1 in my honda though, just because royal purple is more expensive.

Turbo Magazine did a dyno review of Royal Purple years ago and found 3 HP over Mobil1.
