and yea according to car forums ctrs are the fastest cars in the world.
Porsche owner should have been asking himself what was wrong with his motor

why dont you learn somthing yourself kid, first off get some better suspension, and sort the handeling. A car which can handle is miles more use than a car with lots of power.
Once you have sorted the base out, then look at upgrading the engine. If you can't drive a slow car properly i cant imagine u doing so well on a car with a lot more power.
From there get yourself a nice set of coilovers, ate brakes *256mm* which u have , braided hoses and dot5 fluid. Uprate the bushes, remove the front arb and add a rear arb as yours is a 1.2 and prob hasnt got one. Then, learn to drive it properly.
Once your happy and have had some funn beating faster cars on twisties then get a bigger engine.
My 2p anyways.

Because I drove one extensively during the early nineties?
0-60 in the five second region?
Pretty poor in the cornering dept if you drove them wrong, but in a straight traffic light GP a 964 porker would see off a clio 172 noo problems....
Unless of course, it had lost some of the 250bhp it had when it was built.....hence my comment
