This is patently false. Unless your definition of "really good" is just "better than the average idiot driver." It is simply impossible to be properly quick through an autocross course with the systems on, and someone who knows what they are doing will always be significantly quicker with the systems disabled. They are simply too intrusive to allow for the kind of slip angle and aggressive driving that any half-decent autocrosser would be putting the car through on an autocross course.
The systems on a Porsche Cayman, on the other hand, might be at least a bit better at allowing the kind of driving you need to do at an autocross. I drove a Cayman through a "sample" autocross course once and the driver aids were far more forgiving, and far more smoothly integrated, and just much more willing to work WITH the driver, rather than just reign you in every time it thought you were getting a bit too carried away.
