With all that obvious automotive camouflage, that must be a secret test mule from Stuttgart being tested on American roads.

Tough choice Joe Bob - two favourites of mine also - but I'm going with the P-51 (D version - Merlin engined) for speed although the P-38 could carry 2 - 1000 lb. bombs & it's guns being concentrated in its nose meant pilots could shoot from further away. I'd take a joy-ride in either one if I had the chance. That's my half-a$$ed answer.

Cheers
JB

Ron Fagen owns and has flown both (sweet revenge and ruff stuff) but seems to have an affinity for P-40's.
Not bad for fly-over country Granite Falls, MN!!

...jk, that thing's a shameful example of a 951/S2, but if they actually did a better job at the cosmetic mods, it might just look better. It can't be as worse as this Toyota Celica Supra I caught sight of at a PCA autocross earlier this year. Yes, that is a wooden rear spoiler:
