"Feel" is the only way that one experiences a sports car ride, so it is a fair way of comparing cars for yourself. But it's subjective as hell. AKA "butt dyno" - which very seldom reflects reality.

However, real numbers are the only real way to do a fair and objective comparison. Lap times, weights and weight distribution, 0-60 times, braking distances, dyno results, G-forces (as long as we're comparing nearly identical circumstances, right down to the driver, surface, fuel, weather, tires, and identical dyno machine, between cars in stock-to-stock form). And as long as we understand that simple changes such as tires or even tire pressures might make a huge difference to results.
