This is a pretty interesting discussion. Without saying that one is faster than the other (because I don't know), keep in mind that heavier cars have an advantage on putting power down onto the road by simply having more weight on the tires (that's why Formula 1 cars have downforce, after all). Also, when looking at 1/4 mile times, cars are going fast enough that aerodynamics start to creep into the results.
Just food for thought.
