Field Assessment
The Comet Retro Custom is the classic 911 that someone spent a significant amount of money making better while keeping it looking like the thing they started with. Wide rear guards over period-correct alloys, the air-cooled profile maintained, and the mechanicals underneath updated to make the classic body do what it always should have done.
In Vice City's car culture the Comet Retro Custom occupies a specific position. It is not the most expensive car at the meet. It is the car that the serious people stand around talking about while the hypercar owners watch from a distance and know they are looking at something more interesting. The custom work is the knowledge. The classic profile is the credibility.
The handling reflects the rear-engine layout. Weight over the rear wheels creates the handling characteristic that classic 911 drivers have been learning to manage for sixty years. The Vice City corner sequence is the place where that knowledge becomes speed.
