Race cars are usually given strengthened roll cages that protect drivers much better than most of the cars on the road. They also have high temperature resistance brakes to allow the car to stop from high speeds most road cars will never see in their life. Sticky tires to allow all the power to be transmitted to the road and; Lastly they most often come with a large engine that gives out a lot of horsepower and torque to a light heavy duty transmission. most cars on the road drive around with v4s and v6s. Rarely do you see a v8 except in trucks or large suvs. But race cars use v8s, v10s, and even v12s to get their lightweight frames to the speed they need to be to stay in the race.
