I just changed plugs on my 1990 GT, and noticed that the plugs out of cylinders 1 and 5 (front 2) looked different than the others. They look more charred and had oil residue on them.

Anyone know why this is? My car burns oil, but it seems wierd that only the front 2 would be the ones doing it.

Maybe because not enough air gets to those 2 cylinders because of the intake design. Maybe someone else will chime in.
