Since this is your main question/objective. . . my opinion is that a 964 would NOT be significantly different than what you have lap time wise on track. By this I do not mean to infer that 964s are not good/great cars (I think they are), but just that the performance gain over your current car - which sounds like it is set up pretty well - will not be massive. Getting a 964 will not immediately allow you to beat GT3s.
My data point: Last winter, I replaced the (mostly) stock 2.7L engine in my '74 911 w/a 3.6L. Is it faster on track? Yes, by a significant amount. Can I now blow by well driven GT3s? No. I asked myself an interesting question 1/2-way through my first track day w/the new motor. . . was I having more fun than with my 2.7L? Was I having $xx,xxx.00 (the cost of the conversion) worth more fun? The answer was no again. . . For me, just being there lapping is fun. The only way I could beat well driven GT3s at the track is to buy a GT3 (or spend cubic $$ on my car rendering it all but useless on the street). Only you can decide what constitutes "fun at the track" for you. JMHO & YMMV of course.
