Not yet, but my friend has a turbo one and I'm visiting him next week.  

You know better than that Rocky.  Put me in two cars with identical power to weight ratios, but one weighs 3000lbs vs 4000lbs and I can guarantee you I'll be at least 5 seconds faster on track (given fast lap of 1:45 or so) in the lighter car.  You just can't get around the mass and transitions are going to be sloppier, brakes will fade quicker, etc, etc.
