It is disingenuous, but nobody in this thread has suggested otherwise. Even the OP acknowledged the "stupendous" overall speed of the current prototypes. But however a part small top speed plays in overall performance, it is undoubtedly the aspect that gets the most eyeballs, particularly from those who aren't already invested in motorsport.

In my experience it does. I'm sorry I don't have more than anecdotes to back up my point, but when I've brought up GT to non-fans, the "detuning" of the engine has regularly been mentioned as a reason to not bother with GT racing.
