but then again, I haven't driven one so I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly what it needs

I believe the Viper has larger tires and the Porche is an AWD. There is, also Suspension to be considered in this equation. The suspension setup can make a huge difference in track times.

Basically what I'm saying is yes and no. To improve you need to look at:

Down force: spoilers, Front lip, side skirts (improve down force)
Larger tires on larger/light rims: Increase traction and cornering
fully adjustable suspension: Improved handling.

Any of these will improve track times. All mean spending more money.
