In the 'prototype' class yes, not in production classes. In GT categories they have been very successful against Ferraris, Astons, Fords, Lambos, etc.

Which is the point we have been making, and yes it is not fair. Regardless, I think that the 911 platform is better for performance and I do hope they continue its development for another 50 years.

Anything is possible with enough $$$ But something that will be worth your efforts and money, no.
