Similar performance, or identical performance? First of all that's different terminology than you were using before and secondly I'd agree that two similar vehicles can behave differently.

But two identical vehicles cannot behave differently. If they behaved differently then they are either not identical or are not receiving the same inputs.

I'm sure that driving sim players are tweaking their steering response curves too.

Doggles, two different cars can have identical (as close as possible in the real world) measured performance, but can handle and feel very differently.

I suspect it will take another 5 to 10 years of computer development to enable the kind of nuance I'm getting at here.
