Nope, the Porsche was going pretty well. Basically you can rig anything to go faster than pretty much anything around by adding *loads* of extras (not just Barryboy bonnet intakes and massive exhausts when you don't need them for a 1.0litre Nova). Although you would have to have nerves of steel to do it in a Fiat (bag of sh*te basically) as you would suspect it would fall apart and shove you into the wall at any minute. It is a straight line though, so hardly real world conditions (won't keep up with mine on the back roads for instance - even if he has any nitrous left).
Ever see the Top gear show where they took top supercars from around the world (Ferrari type level) and raced them on an airstrip? Can't remember what came second (some £200k effort), but the Top Gear Jaguar won it by quite a margin. Jaguars are really crap by comparison by the way, and this was a clapped out 20 year old effort. But it was stripped almost to nothing, and had a nitros kit bolted on.
But the main thing to remember is it's a Fiat (probably only 5% after refit, but still..). Shudder... Know which one I'd rather be in.
BTW, I once saw a milk float on the web that was faster to 60 than my Scooby (pretty fast car). Not to 100 mind you, thing was geared just to get it to 60 as fast as possible. Like to see it keep up on the corners though
Cheers
I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing
