It's apples and oranges.

It really comes down to how well set up a specific vehicle has been set up.
Once a vehicle has been modified all bets are off, I remember not long ago
when I was over in Japan, a highly modifed 993 was murdering guys left right
and sideways, I've seen SC's do bad things to 997's. Go figure, and I have see
the otherway round.

Take Bills car for example, it's been very well sorted, very well developed, beyond what
a normal 993 that Porsche offerd from the factory. If you modifed and re-enforced your chassis and went thru the nuts bolts and details.

However, one thing I will say is I think most people choose power emphasized modifications over gear box. There is also such a thing as too much grip, and matching suspension to tire compound is important. Developement is a is all about evolution. I think Bill's car is a prime example.

However street usage vs track usage is a very very differen game. Tracks go round and round. I think the most important thing is that the driver to vehicle interface is not combative, by this I mean the steering, gear box, ergonomics aren't against you.

Good luck -
