THE BOXSTER/CAYMAN LAYOUT IS BETTER THAN THE 911!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS WHY IT EXISTS!!!! That was my point. Porsche hangs on to the 911 for the purist, but the design is flawed. It was swell back in the late 60s but with the invention of basic physics it was proven STUPID around 1975. They've done some pretty cool stuff to offset a crappy layout (the new 997 race models are head and shoulders above the 996 re: weight distribution and suspension balance). If Porsche would man up and replace the 911 with a high performance Cayman, Porsche would dominate BMW (better layout for overall race performance) and Ferrari (same layout, but dramatically more extensive driver/team network to test with).
BMW, Porsche, Ferrari are NOT prep 2 because the only place it would be useful (or legal) is in GAC Rolex. While better, prob not worth the development time. Even then, prep 1 European cars absolutely ROCK the prep 2 purpose-built racers from America and Japan once the obvious advantages are dealt with by the GAC rules nazis. God Bless European engineering.
