The cars are quite different but both are quick but each have traits that make them slightly better than the other in vairing situations.
The Mardave is actually a longer wheelbase than the superstox making the Dave more stable in high speed corners and less prone to scrubbing speed however the superstox will then be quicker around a tight infield with tyre choice being different for each car. The superstox tends to favour 50-60 fronts with the Dave running softer Fronts to achieve a comparible turn in.
The diffs of both cars are even if and this is a huge if, they are built correctly with the Mardave diff needing to be clearenced correctly to get a smooth action.
The Mardave has fewer set up variables which make it easier to get the best from especially for a beginner in an apparently beginner orientated class.
Again that said the superstox can be tweaked to work in anyway a track may demand but the ability to know what you need and what the car needs to be drivable and fast is not a skill many long time racers have let alone a newbie.
As someone said above, get the Tyres right and you are going to be there or thereabouts.
Both cars are now well made and competitive products and in the right hands either can win.
