On my original point, the only way to really *prove* superiority of one versus the other is the same car, same mods, same driver, same conditions.
A crazy driver nets faster times. A talented driver nets even faster ones. A crazy driver with talent is the sweet-spot (think Ken Block).
At least in the N/A, you can afford to be a little crazy because the low power keeps the car settled. Otherwise, you're Steve.
With the SRT you'll find that you can go faster by backing out earlier just to hold the car in 2nd gear. Otherwise it'll want to shift mid turn and you and I both know that's a big no no. You can always try to manually shift it early, but that's just a complete waste of time. Also there are a few spots where you'll hit 3rd and on the long straight the car will be ready to go into 4th. But if you get that crazy you're running over 100 mph
