bingo, Healthy is the keyword here
that's what many people are struggling to understand; real world experience will be very different than what it looks on the paper. In this case, it doesn't even look close (referring to Rotrex BRZ to LT1 dynosheet). On a side note, I spent a lot more on Rotrex build BRZ than a stock 1LE . Even if I spent more to make more power (forged internals, bigger blower, E85..etc) It wouldn't be able to match that power gap.
now back to topic, "handling", there is a structural differences between two cars and unlike matching "power/weight" ratio it is not easy to make up for that difference by adding stickier tires, bushings/ sways/braces/, aero,
in the hands of a professional driver after the above mods a twin might be able to match a stock 1LE but of course it's not apples to apples at that point
