Pennzoil gt racing oil

Anyone use pennzoil gt racing oil? Better or worse than conventional vr1?

The VR1 is not an actuall racing oil, it's still street legal, which meens it doesn't have the added level of ZDDP additives for flat tapet cams and such. The Pennzoil gt 25-50 is a Racing oil (not street legal) and has the high levels of ZDDP required for flat tappet cams, so does the brad penn, joe gobbs, royal purple etc.

for what it's worth, I emailed pennzoil about this oil and received a response, here it is:

1800 seemed like plenty so i bought a case, was only around $45, hoping it works out.
