Another method of comparison are their individual Nurburgring lap times. I've also thrown in car known for punching above its weight, the current generation S550 Ford Mustang GT350R (2015 model).

This is far from scientific, and I won't waste any time responding to critiques of my methodology.

Based on my best abilities to gather that data, here is what I've found.

Nurburgring Lap Times:
1. 2015 Ford Mustang GT350R (526 HP, US Base Price: $63,495 USD) - 7:32.19
2. 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 2.5 (365 HP, US Base Price: $82,800 USD) - 7:40
3. 2019 Audi TT RS (394 HP, US Base Price: $66,900 USD) - 7:48.40
4. 2019 BMW Z4 M40i [Euro spec] (340 HP, US Base Price: $63,700 USD) - 7:55.41

Here are my rather pointless calculations, but interesting nonetheless:

Base Price per Horse Power Ranking:
1. Ford Mustang GT350R [US Spec 526 HP] - $120.71 USD
2. BMW Z4 M40i [US Spec 382 HP] - $166.75 USD
3. Audi TT RS [US Spec 394 HP]- $169.80 USD
4. Porsche 718 Boxster GTS [US Spec 365 HP] - $226.85 USD

Power (Stated) to Weight (Curb) Ratio Ranking:
1. Ford Mustang GT350R [3,760 lbs] - 0.139 (hp/lb)
2. Porsche 718 Boxster GTS [3,032 lbs]- 0.120 (hp/lb)
3. Audi TT RS [3,306 lbs.] - 0.119 (hp/lb)
4. BMW Z4 M40i [3,457 lbs.] - 0.110 (hp/lb)

Nurburgring Lap Time per Base Price Ranking:
1. BMW Z4 M40i (Lap Time in Seconds: 475.41) - $135.99 USD per second
2. Ford Mustang GT350R (Lap Time in Seconds: 452.19) - $140.42 USD per second
3. Audi TT RS (Lap Time in Seconds: 468.4) - $142.83 USD per second
4. Porsche 718 Boxster GTS (Lap Time in Seconds: 460) - $180 USD per second

Assign points to each Rank [Total of 10 available per data point (1st=4, 2nd=3, 3rd=2, 4th=1)], and you get the following score:

1st Place: Ford Mustang GT350R - 15 Points
2nd Place: BMW Z4 M40i - 9 Points
3rd Place [Tied]: Porsche 718 Boxster GTS - 8 Points
3rd Place [Tied]: Audi TT RS - 8 Points
