Well, I watch burly chassis JUST like that one save race car drivers every weekend on TV, usually at much higher speeds than road speeds, and almost every time they walk away.
Haven't had the opportunity to test either type yet luckily.
I won't argue that today's cars are highly developed and safer with crumple tech and airbags, but race car chassis and 5 point belts take on wrecks as hard or harder than most on-road wrecks with the driver hopping out without a scratch.
In the GTM kit car's case, that chassis looks like, combined with 5 point belts, a race car chassis, the same kind that racers run head-on into walls at high speeds and hop out without injury. I'd feel just fine driving in one of those.
