Debating with you about which platform is superior is clearly ridiculous because thee evidence is all there and you choose to ignore it. Not much else I can do. Keep your head in the sand.

I'm merely asking you to teach me. Show me the way. So I looked it up. The Ferrari GTE has 600hp. The Garage 56 had "UP TO" 750hp.... or whatever that means. Yet, the times weren't even close. One would assume that the horsepower advantage is the sole reason for the better performance.
However.... In the real world, the Camaro ZL1-1LE has 650hp claimed, and the 911 GT3RS has a claimed 518hp. Not quite 150hp like the racing scenario, but close enough. And yet, the GT3RS is leaps and bounds better than the ZL1-1LE.
So while the 2nd comparison favors your viewpoint of the ME being a better platform, the racing comparison doesn't necessarily do that. Since in a street application an ME doesn't need equal horsepower to beat a FE, but in a racing scenario it does based on your argument in the previous post.
As a follower of your posts, I know you have a smugness and a unique way with words.

But I definitely don't have my head in the sand. I would honestly switch sides in a heart beat if it comes out definitively that an ME is better than an FE.
I'm not a hater or a contrarian. I just want to fully comprehend the science behind such views. Word of mouth is never good enough for me. I'm at the top of my field in the world, and I take a data driven approach to my profession. So I kind of approach my hobbies and interests the same way. Not being a jerk, just pursuing a deeper understanding as to why.
