Japanese cars are elegant machines with ergonomics, effeciency and reliability that has been long sought after in the motoring world.
American cars can easily have an engine size five times that of a Japanese equivalent puts out twice as many horsepower and only manages two thirds of the speed. Asides from the appalling enginge design quite a lot of american cars feel and look like they are thrown together and glued in place with chrome and tend to lack the sleek lines of non-american vehicles.

Depends on the race if I'm racing on a road course I would be biased toward an import or a pony car. on a straight away I would take the muscle car. The American car that can do well in both environments is obviously the corvette it has straight away power and the handling of a small nimble car. Besides in today's world the muscle cars racing days are behind it. You buy muscle cars today because they stand out in a crowd. They are also great babe lures. Imports either look like everything else on the road or are too expensive to buy and maintain, You try getting Mercedes or jaguar parts it's a pain even for the more common versions.

Japanese, I would say. I've owned three over the last few years, and they are well screwed together, and very reliable. Note that Toyota is now the worlds largest car maker.
American cars, on the other hand, have a reputation for poor build quality, low grade plastics, and inefficient engines. Their handling is dubious, too, because most of the roads in America are long, wide and straight, so the emphasis is more on comfort than sharp handling.

The only problem that i can see with your question is simply that
there is no more REAL A merican Muscle cars built these day's, sure you got the names , Corvette Mustang, Camaro z-28
(etc) but american cars built nowa days doth have the power or
torque they had back in the mid 60's to mid 70's, so go jap,, i found from personal exp the Toyota is a great deal for the buck,
there quick, responsive, and reliable as well,good luck with your choice, be it american or jap,,,,,,,,,,,,,stinger,,,,,,,,,

Can't say I'd choose either over a bit of European style, and turbo-diesel performance with economy.
A fast Japanese car is likely to be too rev-hungry (e.g. Honda V-TEC engines) for my tastes, an American muscle car too big, heavy, inefficient, even crude.

With Japanese you usually get a smaller, cheaper to buy, cheaper to run vehicle. They are, in my experience, usually very relaible & dependable.
American cars, on the other hand tend towards the ostentatious looks without the mechanical reliability to back it up. Bigger is not always better.

Japanese...
Speed is better than weight...doesn't mean that when your faster then you're so thin, but surely when you have a big weight, then surely you are fat or big muscle...
When on the race, speed is the most variable thing.
