That is a valid argument but experiences are there and the two that stand out in my mind are that the 1M is faster around a track than an E9X M3 and that the Z06 is in fact faster than a ZR1 around a track. I have to find the link for the 1M vs M3 and the later I have the magazine article at my house.
Just because the numbers don't exist does not mean that it isn't the case. If we only believed what was written in stone than we would still think that the earth is flat. I do believe that if we were to compare apples to apples (ie a bone stock 135 vs bone stock 128 with the same driver/conditions) the 128 would in fact be the quicker car around the track. I'm not saying it would be leaps and bounds quicker but it would edge it out.

You speak in general terms here. Bacause a particular car might edge out another at one track doesnt mean that its a faster car in all repects of racing. Most use times from various sanctioned tracks to get a track record of a cars performance. Not one run done in a parking lot with cones set up for example. What tracks are you referring to?
Most track times for the ZR1/Z06 battles have the ZR1 coming out ahead of the Z06. Nurburgring(Holy Grail track for many) for one example of many.
The E92 M3 is also faster than the 1M at the Ring as it is at more tracks than not.
I think its safe to assume that the 135 is faster than the 128 around most tracks as well but because the 128 has so little official track times posted anywhere(leave it to you to figure out why) its all speculation, I guess.
