If you're going to compare a car's track times then they need equivalent power. If you're going to compare their handling, then track times are not a valid indicator of that when power/weight are not on equivalent terms.

Any comparison is fair, even apples and oranges, in the right context.
For example, in the area of buying juices comparing apple and orange would be very fair.
Same with cars, if you are considering any two cars for a specific purpose (track car, DD, value for the dollar) any two cars are fair game.
The list I make when I go to buy a new car would probably drive you nuts because I consider all kinds of makes/models for the exact same purpose. I also compared cross types (trucks, cars, SUVs). Price is a factor, but not the only factor. I have a set budget and shop within that. However, since I'm willing to shop used and new, I can shop within a pretty wide range.
So, it is very possible to shop a FRS, a Camaro and a Vette (as I gave in the example above) because they can all be bought in the same price range if newness is just another factor considered.
