Ummmm I doubt that. In a straight line race, it MIGHT be close with an amazing driver. Other than that it's not happening. This is the 911, not even the Cayman. If the Z gets $5k in mods then the Porsche will too. I'm sure the biggest overall performance improvement mod you could do with that budget would be a set of super sticky tires. Turning up the boost on the turbo cars would also help a lot.

Even with equal power to weight ratio, the 911 will be faster because of the PDK transmission.
