Nice writeup - I learned a few things. A couple of minor comments though:
1) Our cars don't actually reach 53/47 weight distribution without a driver and passenger.
2) The part about having a lower CD than a 458, while true, is a bit misleading. The 458 was designed to produce downforce at speed (140 kg downforce @ 200 kph). I believe the 911 turbo produces downforce as well. In comparison, the BRZ produces slight lift at speed (25 lbs F / 35 lbs R @ 70 mph). Designing downforce usually introduces drag, so the CD numbers for the Ferrari and Porsche are partly a product of design compromises.
