Default 87 octane vs. 93 octane and funny note

Long story short, my buddy borrowed my car and was nice enough to fill it up with 87 no name gas. Before I knew it had happened, my buddy with a camaro wants to race. My car is a 98 t/a w/ a lid and his camaro is a 99 w/ a lid, long tubes, and an ofy. So we go and do the deed and he pulls a car, car and a half on me, it was a 40 punch to 120. I thought my car was a little sluggish, so I ask my buddy what kind of gas he put in it, and he responded, "The cheapest I could find."

Anyway, the buddy in the camaro says that the 87 wouldn't make a difference, and if it did, it would be so minuscule that it wouldn't matter, although he runs 93. I think I could keep up with that sob if I didn't have shitty gas.

What do yall think?

BTW, check out this note I got after doing an accidental donut pulling a u-turn.

Oops, didn't mean to **** anyone off.

I lost the race, have not tried again with 93 yet. The note is from the same night, but unrelated to the race. I missed a turn, and whipped and u turn, but with bald tires I went all the way around, so I just went with it and did a donut in the street. Wasn't on purpose. Apparently I pissed off some really hot soccer mom and she left me the note while I was in the store buying limes, tonic water, 150 red cups, and orange juice, written in eye liner, which she signed with the kiss.

Maybe she liked it?
