It would interesting to add a stock 1985 959 to a test like that. Almost everyone in 85 was astonished at the fantastic performance of the 959. It is now beyond crazy money expensive. I suspect a new 991 Turbo from 2016 would outperform the 959 by a lot except maybe for top speed. 31 years of technology is impossible to beat.

Was there any street car made in the mid 80s or before than can beat the lap times of a new Porsche 911?
