Doubtful.

The only production-car I can think of which was optimized for anything but 91 is the Veyron. Everything else is made to run on 91-octane, as California is the biggest car-market in the country.

Mix any octane of fuel you want in a 370Z...there will be no varience on a dyno greater than what there would have been even if you didn't change the gas from pull-to-pull.
