The price of running leaded... let this be a warning.
To those of you considering running a little leaded gasoline at the track, even in small quantities, DONT! I ran a 50/50 mix in one tank 2 months ago.
4 visits to 2 different dealers later. My car's having to have 4 oxygen sensors and a new Catalytic Converter installed. If I wasn't under warranty I don't know what I'd do.
So.. The moral of the story, leave the lead in the muscle cars.
Cheers,
Jon

It'll still eventually kill your O2 sensors...
Now, I wanna see some daring guy throw a pair of triple-barrel weber carbeurators on a 2.7t, forget that electronics, and O2 sensor crap! ;-)
