The higher discharge rating just means the battery can supply that amount of current at any given time. It's not going to make your car any faster than with say a 30c battery, but it will feel like it has more "punch" for a longer amount of time and the battery itself won't be as stressed since it's not being used to its full capacity. Higher discharge is always better when you can afford it IMO.
