Your car isn't tuned to run race gas. But go ahead. Try it and see what happens.

I was going to say that stupid juvenile questions bereft of any thought posed only to waste time and entertain the small minded usually evoke these types of responses. But I'm not going to say that.

Seems like ure mouth runs fine on torco race fuel. And it's obviously not built for it

What consequences? Nothing will happen except for a lightened wallet.

I think we all stated that since he DID ask what would happen. What would happen to the engine? Nothing. In other words, no consequence. Why? Because he said he wasn't going to be doing it in the first place. So this question was moot before he even asked it.
