11.36 in the 1/4? It would own a lot of cars....

but that Porsche should have done better. Looked like a 964 Turbo?

we used to own one of those Fiats... minus the V8, of course...

with the 3 cyl aircooled engine, the best it ever did was reach 60+ mph, barely

The traction the little Fiat gets off the line is superb - I wonder what engine's in it.

I did not download the video, I've got a slow line - and my sound is not working either.

Found a picture of the car so I at least know it should be rear engined.

The picture is from this website that's about rear engined cars, but does not mention Porsche. WTF?
