Car done broke down...

So I was driving the car today.. Just normal driving... Then I put around 5 gallons of race gas (112 octane) in it which tops off the tank, like I usually do when I plan on beating on it (as told to by Tony @ EPL) and everything's all fine and dandy as usual. I wash my car at my house, nothing different form normal, finish drying out every crevice I can reach, then take it for a drive. I get about 1/8mi down the road from my house and the car just stalls. I pull off to the side of the road, and the damn thing won't start. The car continues to not start for about an hour or so, then I just decide to get it flat bedded to the local dealership (Langan Motor Car). I'm efffin pissed.

Mods:
Ruf R550
AWE cat/muffler delete
EPL reflash (which has been AWESOME so again, thank you Tony)

But even though it didn't start, it'd still turn over, run for about 2 seconds, then stall. Plus when I turn the key to the on position, I can still hear the pump turn on and start pumping.

Kevin- You nailed it. It's getting a new fuel pump as we speak.. Expensive since no warranty, but it could've been much worse.

Diagnosing, install, and part was ~ $1100. I wasn't too happy about it, but it could've been much worse.
