A 7:08 is not a pedestrian number. That's in rare company and not "normal" for something that's fully daily driveable. Regardless of spec sheet numbers, engine layout, and drivetrain setup.
It's also arguable that MR is superior. Why would most racing setups and max-performance supercars/hypercars use a MR setup when they could opt for something FMR instead?
And to put that 7:08 in perspective, highlighting any FMR/MR entrants from that time up to 30th in rank:
