Precisely. There are too many extraneous factors to consider before you can declare a specific layout the end all/be all performance solution, and thats before you add the human element. Realistically until you start getting into the upper horsepower ranges (something like 400+) any layout can do just as well as the other.
This also got me thinking earlier, we still have yet to see what results combining mechanical and electral systems could yield. Example: Revoknuckle (which has proven effective at 350bHP) + An electronic aid like this Torque vectoring system + mechanical LSD (none of this e-diff business)= ????
