In that case it depends on the track. If you have all the cars then you pick, what works best at what track.
And as Blake so kindly pointed out on a previous posting what ever Danny says do the opposite

For me, my 1991 will be the car to have.....cause it's the only one I got. Besides, with the mindset that my car is better than all the others I'll have no excuses......except for maybe turbulence caused by my textured paint job!

why are people still voting? the question was based on 2012 rules which are considerably different than 2016 rules.

Now Tom owns 3 of the 4 varieties
Yes and owning 3 cars is one of the following:
1) Part of a very well crafted master plan
