This isn't the first time that a thread went off-topic around here.
Briefly, a Ford is a "cheaper" car to race (no car is actually cheap to race). They enjoy a vast aftermarket support system (you knew that), and a much much larger number of cars on the track (very helpful if you need help or parts at the track).
I mostly race in HSR and SVRA (based in the SE; other parts of the country differ). The rules have four different classes for a Mustang and one for a BRE Datsun.
A BRE Datsun is in the same HRS group (Group 3) as a FIA Mustangs. They are in different classes (so neither is really racing against each other, except for bragging rights).
Nonetheless, just build or buy what car that you would like to race. It isn't like anyone wins any money.
