Could a tuned NA twin stay with a base Boxter or Cayman on track? Lets say 200tw tires on both.

I have been through 5 front hubs in 4 years. I think they don't handle high lateral loads well. 4 of my fronts have been right sides, most of the tracks I run are CCW.

I ran BRZ day 1 and '11 base Cayman day 2 at Thomspon and Palmer last year, was only 0.4 sec quicker with the Cayman at Thompson on a very hot day, but 3 seconds quicker at Palmer. At WGI I did a 2:14 something in the Cayman last year vs. 2:18 with the BRZ in 2018. I'm not tuned, but I doubt that a 93-pump tuned BRZ would be able to run with a 987 base at most tracks... |

Having owned a Cayman S as well as my 86, my 86 has beaten nearly all my Cayman's previous bests. However, I attribute this more to me feeling more comfortable pushing the 86 towards the limits than I did in the Cayman, plus more experience gained since the Cayman. Although somebody like Dan, at Palmer I would bet they would be pretty close. However, at WGI, I would say the Cayman would win hands down. |

It depends on what you mean by tuned NA. Tires, exhaust and tune, suspension? Dont think so. Removing some weight and adding some aero on top of that? Sure it can, it can be faster even.

Yea, 195whp, Tarmac 2 coilovers and 245, 200tw tires. I guess the basic comparisons would be skidpad and braking numbers.

Yeah no, that wouldnt be enough. Assuming the porsche is in the same tire, the 100kg difference in weight between the two is not enough to offset the massive advantage the porsche will have with almost double the power. You could make the brz corner just as well or even better, but overall laptimes the porsche should always take it with only those mods on a brz/86.

I wonder if Best Motoring did this comparison already.

At an HPDE where there's a HUGE range in driver skill, sure. Hell I've gotten passes on R35 GTR's, and a few GT2's during HPDE's. On an actual competition day, where every driver is either a licensed comp driver or at the least a experienced driver, no. The Cayman/Boxster will be quicker given an equal skill driver.
