Here's an example of one up to 50C, or 110 amps. There are many more available where this one came from, from a variety of testers with a variety of batteries. There are also other sites with data. No opinion or feel involved.
Modified or top speed cars are not where the differences are most apparent, but rather in power limited stock classes. The small but distinct difference in batteries is mostly in punch/acceleration, top speed not so much.
Just like with ni-cads and ni-mh, there are differences in batteries for those who care. Good news is as lipos mature the typical capability is getting better, reducing the differences some.
