You're right, however, I believe that when you measure a car's performance, you have to look at several factors
1) Quickness (1/4 times)
2) Power (power/ weight ratio)
3) Manuverability (slalom)
4) Speed (top speed)
I think that courses like Laguna is a good place to test a car's blend of all of these things. It's a good mixture of turns straight aways, elevation changes, etc. It really tests what a car is made of.
I have never driven on the course, however, in GT, it was the most challenging course and I used to use it to test new cars that I would make for myself to see if they were up to par with previous creations.
I believe that the key here is balance, which is what the 135 seems to 'MAYBE" have.
My main question is whether or not the 135 will beat the S2000 in #3 on my list?

IMO S2K is the best bang for buck....

I'm not sure what 0.4 sec you are talking about but I was talking about the lap time....1:50.7 for the S2000 and 1:49.0 for the 335i
