Nick, what I find comical is how you missed the point clouded by your bordering obsesive bias 
The point is both cars should identical to the production cars delivered to the customer, nothing more, nothing less.
The ring is not in one of Jupiter's moons, if the car is good in the real world (not in a flat, smooth grippy GP track), it will handle well in the ring (thats why Ferrari didn't alow an Enzo there), thats the purpose of the ring, the ring's setup is the real world roads, the ring doens't have a specific clear setup like a normal track, it has over 20km, an uneven and changing surface, and over 140 types of different curves.
All the tests are conducted with standard production models no matter if they are a german BMW, an italian Lambo, an english Lotus, or a japaneese NSX, and so was the CGT, why should Ferrari be different? while they are at it they can bring some special ring tires too 
Let me help you understand. Porsche builds its cars for track conditions and not as we know straight speed. Other car manufacturers focus on acceleration, handling and comfort. We all know Porsche is not a "drag race" car. A viper, corvette, cobra and other cars would leave a 911 gasping for air in straight perf.
However, whenever a discussion centers on perf. on Porsche boards it is always the Ring time. Since the car is designed for that environment how can anyone object to other cars setting up their car for the Ring?
