In a word, sorta. Thanks to this short video from the Carwow folks in the UK, we can see the comparative performance of a quartet of sporty performance cars. The two true Germans, Porsche's 718 Cayman GTS and Audi's TT RS Roadster stack up against the BMW with a Toyota hat, and a tuned version of the French Alpine. These cars are run through …

Here’s The Fast Way Around Sonoma Raceway In A GT3 RS
"You need to learn how to drive a slow car fast before you can drive a fast car fast," says Joe Kou, Spec Miata racer and owner of this GT3 RS. Running in an anemic Miata and focusing on maintaining mid-corner speed obviously pays off in the punchier cars, as we can see here.

Kelly Moss has a penchant for building over-the-top Porsches. When they aren't racing in GT3 Cup, they've lately been spending their energies on trying to outdo the entire world of Safari-style 911s.

More power, more aerodynamic grip, more performance, and more usability—we've heard all of the new Cayman GT4's strengths already.

With the right modifications, the 996 GT3 becomes a car that will sway the most skeptical, please the frigid, and bring out the best in the timid. Not that it was slow from the factory, but with some talented tuners and a skilled set of hands making the most out of the least loved of the GT lineup, we see that it—like every other member of its …
