For track use, I would cross-shop both cars. Specifically, the DH Premium with the Handling Package and Recaro seats.
My general thoughts are I think the G87 M2 is a better overall package for most people at the price point. G87 M2 is faster around a track with the same tires as the DH with Handling Package.
If you track a LOT, the DH has an advantage from a catastrophic repair cost perspective. If you blow up the 5.0L Coyote and/or the Tremec, you just go online and "add to cart" since a long block is likely to be $5-7k and the Tremec is probably $2-3k. If you blow up a S58, you might as well toss your G87 M2 in a car shredder. It will probably cost you $35-40k for a new S58 long block + 2 replacement turbos.
The DH Premium with Handling Package and Recaros is a fantastic car minus it's $70k MSRP entry point. If it was price at the $50-55k range, it would unequivocally be my go-to track car in that price range.
