Default Race gas?

I saw at the Texaco in Browns Mills that they sell 110 octane race gas. Has anyone ever used it before? Do you think it would hurt if I used it in the TA?

DO NOT USE IT!! First of all it is leaded and will trash your 02 sensors! If you have a stock motor you only need 92-93. If you have legidimate detonation issues, try to get to the source of the problem or blend in some 100 octane UNLEADED race fuel. Straight Sunoco 100 octane SLOWS my car down!

Race gas burns slower, makes less power. I still don't understand how people think race gas will make the car faster. Try running 89 octane if it doesn't detonate it will make more power.
