Leaded fuel
My 928 was originally designed with unleaded fuel in mind, as it started life as a Japanese export model. It is effectively a full s2, without the s2 engine - it has a US spec engine from what I understand.
If the car did not have a catalytic converter, is there any reason why racing fuel or fuel with lead in it could not be used. I think it would be fine as the lead wouldn't harm the engine and could only help to lubricate the valves. My 951, with no cat, doesn't seem to mind it. I am no mechanic, what do you think? Thanks for your replies.

AFAIK, the only hold-off on the leaded fuel is the cat, which you don't have, and maybe local regulations.
