But surely even then what matters is improving your laptime in a given car, not absolute lap time. What does absolute lap time matter?
To give you an example, you might lap faster at a given track in, say, an Audi S4 than a basic 1.8-litre Lotus Elise because the Audi might have just too much of a power to weight advantage (it may not, but you get my point). But the Elise will be miles more enjoyable while you bank slower lap times.
In that context what the hell does the absolute lap time matter? Yes, you might want to improve you time in the Elise, but who the hell cares what lap time the Audi is doing?
And so we come to Boxster vs 911. Who cares which laps faster? Pick the one you enjoy driving the most.
