So, we can expect -- other things notwithstanding -- that the CCX most certainly out-corners the street-intended sportscars in the EVO test.

Who tought you physics?
- weight has nothing to do with grip
- power has nothing to do with grip
Grip depend mostly on tires and amount of downforce.
CCX runs on Michelin PS2 tires - good summer rubber, but can't touch Michelin Cup semi-slicks, let alone racing slicks.
Also, there is simply no way for CCX to generate more downforce than Viper race car.
So again, race-car on slicks - 1.15g, sweden street-car on summer tires - 1.30g? Biggest BS ever heard from car mfr.

Admit it. EVO shows tremendous bias by having clumsier or more inept cars come in ahead of the CCX, which immediately invalidates the EVO test result.

Swedens aren't particularly known for supercars, I kind of doubt they can run with the best. If the CCX had a problem with downforce - it wouldn't do well on EVO track.
Stig from TG says it does have that problem and without the spoiler car sucks on the track. But spoiler reduces top-speed and acceleration. Most likely EVO tested CCX without spoiler.
