I believe Cup tires are an unfair way to test any car against it's competition because the vast majority of cars don't come with cup tires. I love the GT3 but it definately has unfair advantage with its cup tires. Without those tires, the Cayman would easily be Porsches best handling car. One of the reasons I respect the Cayman and R8 so much is the way they handle without cup tires. Again, my argument for the handling advantage offered a mid engine design.
Yeah, with 62% of the weight on the rear axle (997 S) braking hard into the the corner will be fun. The lap time will be the least of your worries in that situation.
