They also make sense especially when those non-data points as you seem to interpret, appear to be confirmed by back to back driving experience which actually is subjective. Maybe your definition of 'superior chassis' differs from mine. Perhaps a Nissan GTR is a 'superior' chassis in your view?
the gtr is likely a superior chassis. i would imagine that it is much better about keeping your tires on the ground as its equipped to put power down. im not saying that the things you are saying are wrong, im just saying that you dont say enough to come to a conclusion. i would say the primary quality you look for in a chassis is rigidity and you dont know how rigid either of these cars are.

my thought process is that they had more money, more resources and more knowledge when they made this car. i dont imagine they would make an inferior chassis in that circumstance.
