Was your battery turning the engine over aggressively ..... or just barely .. ??

If the battery is weak, here is a good way to check it (or have it checked).

Not Quite today, but this past Saturday, I abused her @ the track on Streets of Willow for the first time. Also had Project Mu 800HC+ brakes pads installed and new break fluid.

This is coming from experience. The past 3 cars I have driven have taken premium gas. Basically our cars are sensitive to the gas we put in them, if the gas has a lot of ethanol in it then the car tends to have a hard time cranking. I've put in non ethanol gasoline and my car run smooth. The minute I put in terrible quality gas my car runs like junk and won't hardly crank. It's not the battery, I thought so too until I experimented a little bit.

Maybe you're right cause the day before instead of putting shell v power I went to a ultramar gas station and put some supreme gas.

And yeah humfrz the engine turns aggressively not barely
