If you arm a low mileage 993 Turbo with new modern tires I'm sure it can still outrun most new turbos.

All you have to do is look at power to weight to answer that question.
993: 3307lb/400hp=8.27 lb/hp
997: 3487lb/480hp=7.26 lb/hp
The 997 carries around less weight per unit power. It's going to be faster if tires are equal.
