I'm convinced the difference in lap times between the 2 is far, far smaller than the difference in driver skill, and I would be very interested in seeing professional, expert, and novice road racer back-to-back lap times in each.
I have never seen a step setup that will beat a skilled driver that knows how to properly heel-toe...335i included. I have yet to drive the much-lauded sequentials on the F430 tough.
