I don't agree even with that. New cars have no center differential and I would not bet on the cornering speed comparison. Sure the smaller bodyshells are easier to turn from left to right but for the cornering speed itself there is hardly any reason to by higher (besides natural unstopable tyre and suspension development). Also the massive torque of 2.0 cars plays much bigger role on twisty roads than on fast flowing ones. Without proper testing against each other we can only guess...
