Maybe. But those cars will differ significantly in some quantifiable manner, which is all I'm saying. There's no magic.

It might not be the "headline" numbers like top speed or horsepower that are different, but some number, somewhere is causing the difference that the driver feels.

I agree with you that a lot of these numbers are probably not modelled in games these days, but I feel like that's a budgetary consideration, not a system-requirements consideration.
