I wondered this when I was tracking a C63 AMG. At Sears Point I added unleaded 100-octane racing fuel to my existing tank, which gave me something around 97 octane overall. i could NOT believe the difference; it was NOT subtle!

I have to assume that most modern performance cars will make always adjust the performance parameters just below the point where spark knocking might occur, whether you're running cheap gas or race fuel. I'm hoping the Z/28 does the same...
