If the mfg states that 91 is recommended than thats what I would run until other modifications requiring the race gas are made, but its your car, if you feel the race gas makes a difference that you like run it, just let me know how your engine is in two years

Go to page 9-3 of the Owners manual and read up, I think you will be surprised by what you find about 85. Our cars would in fact not be okay, but you keep putting 85 in it
