The legality has far more to do with emissions requirements than crash testing. Besides, very small numbers of imports like the 959s and other euro-only exotics wouldn't require crash testing.
And I'd take the 245/215 ecotec.

Plus, the GM motors come with a 5-speed, while the Honda motors get the 6-speed
Sign up for the customization so you can see some of the neato options
The track model puts you up to $78k

I don't like 959's as the current uber-supercar, I love them as a historical piece, and being able to drive one legally as a part of history is just cool.
I would rather have a 993 Turbo S than a 996 Turbo, even though the 996 is faster, and I'd rather have a 73 RS than either of them.
