Ring times are pretty useless. How many of these ring times were hit by cars years apart, with different drivers and ring conditions, with perhaps different tire technology in place at the time, and with many of the exotics the car was specially prepped for the specific track 'ring and was not showroom stock (See: Ferrari for an example).

I don't get the statement about torque. I mean, I do, but instead of saying torque how about I say "60-70% more horsepower at 3000rpms in the f80 compared to the e9x"

Regarding car lengths, correct me if I'm wrong but we're closer to 5-6 car lengths at the quarter mile time considering a ~7mph faster trap speed at the end?
