JDM vs. Muscle Cars – Which Would You Bet On in a Street Race?

Alright, let’s settle this debate once and for all. I’ve seen endless arguments online, but I want real-world opinions from people who’ve actually pushed these machines to the limit. On one side, you’ve got JDM legends like the Supra, GT-R, or even a tuned Civic Type R lightweight, turbocharged, and built for precision. On the other, raw American muscle: Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers with enough torque to shake the pavement.

Sure, muscle cars have that brutal low-end power, but can they keep up when the road gets twisty? And while JDM cars handle like they’re on rails, do they have the top-end grunt to compete in a straight line? I’m curious what’s your take? If you had to pick one for a street race, which would it be and why? Let’s hear some stories or even personal experiences if you’ve raced either (or both!).
