I disagree with that statement from an enthusiast perspective. The Cayman could easily sit on the grid in the SCCA. The GT-R would be uncompetitive.
I have no doubt the GT-R is quicker around a track than the 997 Turbo. It's suspension tuning/handling set-up and aids, gearing, underrated power, etc all point to this.
However, do you believe the sub 7:40 'Ring times were representative of a production-spec car?
