I don't think anyone is trying to say that the best NA should have the same lap pace as the best turbo - this is purely about parity in terms of straight line power. A brief glimpse at BTCC over recent years shows there is always a huge difference in overall lap pace between the best and worst cars, even when they had the same power.

If the Hondas happen to have by far the best set up and therefore the best lap and race pace - as the triple 8 Vx's did a year or two ago - that's fine and dandy. But if there is meant to be performance parity they still shouldn't be able to outdrag and simply drive by a NA car so ridiculously easily.
