Ive seen pink plugs before using fuels with additives like V-power or an octane booster?

I try to use 'super' petrol or octane boosters... so it could be that...

hi rich,

i have been checking the condition on my spark plugs on the exige and they also have the same red center as yours. i am using momentum 99 petrol and only added some injector cleaning fluid in the last month or so. spark plugs are iridium denso.
so, i m guessing its some additive in the fuel which is causing it?

any more info on your side?
