Default 95 Octane?

Hey guys, My first post here! Have a question about using 95 octane in my 98 corvette pace car. I was filling up with gas at my local Amoco station and I noticed there was a grade of 95 gas that said racing fuel only. It had C5 emblems above it and I was wondering if this would hurt or help my car to run it. I previously run 93 in it now. To me just being 95 doesn't look like it would hurt to run it. Any info. would be appreciated. Thanks

It shocked the pants off me. And to beat that it was $1.99/gal. Too bad were having this rise in gas prices due to possible war . There's no telling how low it would be. :smash:

91 is the highest octane I've seen in CA.
