I ran Redline in my previous car. Did I notice any improvements performance or other indications it was better? Nope. Did the mentality of "well, if its good enough for all the racers and hard core people that use it, then its good enough for me" influence my decision? Yep. Its not cheap, $8 a quart. I think Mobil One is a very good, cheaper alternative.
If my engine was newer and didn't leak oil now, I'd run Redline. But for now, it just gets good old dinosaur juice. When I do a nice 3.5l with spanking new seals and stuff, I'll run it again. I currently run their diff oil in my car as well as their tranny fluid.
