I bought it with 50 miles on it, now its got 400 miles on it because it's so fun to drive, I just can't stop driving it! It's Mineral Grey (i spelt my username wrong, oops), GT, 5 speed, Mach 460, black leather interior, the works...I have just a few basic questions.....

First off, and most importantly, anything I should know about the car in general?

What octane gas should I use? Book says 87, but 89 sounds like a better idea to me.

Is there a brake in period for the engine or does it not really matter?

Will an aftermarket cold air intake system void warantee? If so, will a K & N drop in void?

What does the car peak at? 260 hp at what RPM's?

Finally, which performance mods to the car will NOT void the warantee.
