Here in my home state the highest octane gas available at the pumps is 98 (legal for road use). Haven't done it for a while, but we used to head out to the nearby regional airport and buy a few gallons of Avgas, then mix with the 98. Good times.

I took a few shots waiting for them to open. I also finally took a picture of my cowl tag and noticed the characters are stamped at different depths. Someone should track real cars against those being considered as real, as I would suspect tags with same depths if all characters are the same. I never noticed it until now. Mopar fender tags show the same behavior (if real).

Enjoy.

The Trim Tag stampers are now offering variable depth stamping on request. It's best to specify which characters you want deep and which you want shallow, as it can vary from plant to plant and month to month.

Yours looks pretty good for 06A NOR. Probably real.

You can also get tinted rivet caulk, so that it appears original and never removed.

It's so nice this board is open to discussion regarding trim tag nuances. Other Camaro boards seem to discourage it.

^ this is exactly why others discourage it.

Ah yes, Lake St., Rt. 20....the Autobahn of the NW suburbs at rush hour [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img] My wife used to risk her life on that road going back &amp; forth to Sears HQ in Hoffman Estates.

This shit really wakes up your car,especially after Eric rebuilds your carburetor.
The next closest after that is the SpeedWay in Willow Springs,selling 100 octane leaded for $8 a Gal.
Here's a nationwide Race gas finder Nick.Just enter your zip in the search box.

So, is this the same stuff my local municipal airport sells as &quot;110LL&quot;?

You guys have probably already downloaded the &quot;pure gas&quot; app - Shows you where the nearest non-ethanol gas stations are. Doesn't show the octane available though.

I use that for ethanol-free in my air-cooled 911.

Man, that yellow camaro looks great next to that pump! I love those hubcaps, one of the few the big 3 got right.
