What would it prove?? You are now venturing into the foothills of the mountain called "competition". Your premise is weak however. Every racer knows, to compete, you play the money game. So, you mandate a specific "crate" motor. They do that in racing. The guys who run at the front are the ones willing to buy 10 crates and dyno each one. You'd be shocked at the differences you'll find (often 10% or higher). He'll do the same thing with 30 "spec" exhausts, 50 "spec" suspensions, and any number of "spec" anything else you want to "spec". And we haven't even mentioned yet, who will drive these various wonder cars. Boris Said for SF?? Galati for FF?? Shumacher for SA?? What will be proved, in the outcome, is who wanted to win bad enough. A manufacturer would be nuts to get involved, and you'd be equally foolish to put much stock in any outcome.
