993 Cup is 600 lbs lighter than a stock 993, yes stripped and then some. Engine is a 3.8 VS 3.6 with better torque. Full cage adds enormous rigidity. Stock to Cup is is possible in theory, but turning a stock 993 into a Cup Car is a big endeavor. Check with any longtime racers and you will be more convinced of finding an existing well developed car "sorted".
Events are laid back in the spirit of fun. As far as competitive, look at the Glen event results run in June. 1st Place in upper class ran a 1:52 as his fastest lap. On the long course, this is up there with ALMS drivers and Rolex series (ironically this event attracts such drivers as Wolf Henzler ran club racing last year at Sebring).
I am not sure if any of this helps, but attending an event and seeking out some of the GTC drivers may answer more questions for you.
