Which would you buy?

Are you kidding me? First of all, the main winners are usually things like Corvettes. You're talking sub supercars here. And a vehicle that is completely non-representative of American cars or Chevrolet. You actually were shocked to see a Nissan 350Z trail the Vettes, Vipers, Porsche GT3's, and Ferraris?

Second, US highways are gigantic straight lines that maybe have a few kinks here and there. What little time the Jap and Euro cars could make up in handling is blasted away by the HP of the American cars. HP that they likely acheived with nearly double the displacement.

Put a Mustang on the Nürburgring against an STi and see what happens there.

Gigantic straight lines or not, US Highways are where people drive daily and where most bets are settled. That or a stoplight. V8's, turbos, and everything in between will face off at the same piece of highway, not some closed track like Nurb.....

As for the Silver State Classic..... many of those in the lower average speed brackets are normal daily drivers with some sporting street mods.... The way people race their cars there would be much closer to the reality of how someone next to me might challenge me to a stoplight race.

Be back in two, maybe 3..... Groceries time.....
