i think the best way to think about the 45 Carrera Cup USA Edition 964's (the correct name from porsche btw)
is that they were US Spec 964 RS's, somewhere in between Basic and Touring
they were intended as race cars by porsche from the get go but in order to not have the EPA repeat the 959 debalcile they used US chassis numbers, Nevermind that they all came with a RS Spec (and serial #) engine and transmission package and all the other goodies, except where they were too obvious (like non airbags and roll up windows)
they probably do not fit in the race car list since they left the factory as street cars - much the same as a 964 RS was even if they were both converted to cup specs later.
IMHO...

Pro
996 GT3 RS/Road Challenge (Sure these were built up by FutureWorld, supposedly from RS, but they carry VIN very close to that of 2004/2005 Cup cars)
997 GT3 Cup 'Grand Am'
997 GT3R Hybrid 2.0
991 GT3-R
FWIW Some of the Later 997 and 991 RSR have dropped the GT3.
Edit:
Not sure what your requirements for 'factory' are, but in case you want to: 4.0L 997 Brumos Cup cars. (Also have Cup like VIN)
Ed2: RSR

959 Rally car, and the 961 (it's road racing sibling before it was banned from Group B).
