Just pray they stay away from our Porsche.

Really? Now why exactly would that be? While comparos have their limitations (in the following case, different days and climatic conditions and probably different drivers) and I always wonder whether they use optimal tire pressure, you may want to consider the following Evo lap times:

Porsche Carrera GT 1:19.7
Maclaren F1 1:21.2
Ferrari Enzo 1:21.3
Audi R8 1:22.1
Koenigsegg CCX 1:22.3
Gallardo 06 1:22.8
Ferrari 599 GTB 1:23.1
997 GT3 1:23.4
997 Turbo 1:23.55
997 GT3 RS 1:23.95
Ferrari F430 1:24.2
Corvette Z06 1:24.45
M Evo IX FQ-340 1:24.55
997 Carrera S 1:24.6
