Using "official" (i.e. officially) apples to oranges test results benefits nothing/no one.

There is not one speck of crying/hype/sensitivity here on my behalf.

Further there is absolutely nothing surprising to me about a lighter car with less hp roughly matching another. Basic physics. There is also nothing surprising about Porsche having sublime and effective handling.
