Hmmm, not really production cars, Aps, other than the body in white being used. Those cars have very few stock parts left. All the body seams that are normally tack welded are fully welded, drivetrain and suspension are full race stuff. Still the best racing on earth, though.

They start as production cars. That's a lot more than you can say about American "stock" car racing.
I can buy a Subaru Impreza or Ford Focus but I can't walk into a show room and buy anything similar to what raced in NASCAR yesterday

only pussies drive NASCAR anymore it is all about the Benjamins ......... with all the safety equipment ...
maybe window nets and Nomex suits (who wants to burn to death) but really more and more safety equipment .........
where is the thrill driving something STOCK as fast as it can go .......... 113 in a 1995 Saturn is, Interesting .........
I want to see a new model Mustang or Camero or Dodge Challenger on the track

Most of the newer muscle can top well over 150, The new SRT versions of the 300, Challenger and Charger can hit I think 175. Older ones were only good for 172 or so.

Assume?
The Hemi comes in three flavors. the 5.7 (2005 present) and the 6.1 (2006-2010) and 6.4 (2011 and on). The 5.7 cars are good for about 150, speed limited due to stock tires limitations, while the 6.1/6.4 cars are aero limited, since they come with tires rated to 186 or so. Hence the differing top ends, with the 64.s greater power, it can go a bit faster.
Good way to show folks how the power required to raise top speed jumps, the 6.4 has a +50hp bump, but only gains about 2-4mph of top end.
