If they had to go old school and drive a car that would be available to the public with only safety mods and creature comfort stuff removed for wheight reduction, what would win?
Dodge Charger SRT-8 with the 6.1L Hemi
Monte Carlo SS with the 5.3 L LS4
Ford Fusion with the 3.0(Front Wheel Drive!)
Toyota Camry with a 3.5L(Front Wheel Drive!)

The Monte is also Front wheel.
The charger is the only answer.
It would be one hell of a challenge to race any front wheel drive at those speeds...talk about pushing the nose, there would be no front tires left after 5 laps-10 laps on most tracks.
Anyone who has shoved FWD car into a turn at 50-60 plus knows exactly what I am talking about.
BTW, the Charger would leave them all at the start finish, the Fusion coming in at 227 HP
Camry at 2 soemthing I am not sure.
Monte at 303HP
Charger 6.1...425HP....Draft or not, that car is gone...Kasey Khane and Ryan Newman, might just win a race.

The Charger takes the checkered flag! In 2nd is the Monte Carlo followed not so closely by the Camry Solara. I think there's a Fusion here somewhere.....
Now to our New York studios and Brent Musburger!!!!

Hopefully the Charger...but probably the Monte.
"considering NASCAR is a bunch of robots, etc"
yeah, what a shame the best driver/team wins rather than teh team with the most money to pour into the car.

Well the charger has more horsepower than the other three plus its a rear wheel drive vehicle, that makes a big difference in driving.

WORKING AS A TECH FOR CHRYSLER DEALER AND HAVING DRIVEN ALL THE CARS MENTIONED I CAN TELL YOU FIRST HAND THAT THE SRT/8 WOULD BOOT STOMP ALL THE OTHERS !!!! V-8 MONTE CARLO IS COOL BUT WAY TO MUCH POWER FOR FRONT DRIVER.

I'm a chevy person, but I would say the Charger SRT with the hemi...that would be a great race to watch...

There's no doubt that the Chargers would be well in front when they started blowing up, which would be 10-15 minutes into the race. No telling what would go first -- engines, transmissions, rear ends, wheels -- but nothing in a stock drivetrain is up to the rigors of a full-length NASCAR race.
The winner would be a cagey veteran, maybe Schrader. Realizing he had no chance to catch the Mopars, he would keep his Fusion tooling around on the apron at about 75% of max rpm. The young hotshots would blow up after a few minutes at redline and slow 'n' steady would outlast them all.
It wouldn't be much fun to watch. If you really want to see close-to-stock vehicles racing, go to your local short track and wait for the "bomber" class.
