The car features a [[wp:targa top|targa top]] similar to the Targa 911s; however, the [[wp:fastback|fastback]] profile the Comet sported in GTA Vice City was dropped in favor of a backwards-slanted standalone C-pillar until GTA IV. GTA III era renditions of the Comet are front-engined, unlike the real Porsche 911, which is famously rear-engined; this led to speculation that the Comet was inspired by a [[wp:Nissan S30|Datsun 240Z]], as did the inset headlamps, which not seen on any Porsche model. The headlamps may also have been inspired by the [[wp:Alfa Romeo Spider|1966-1969 Alfa Romeo Spider]]. | ||

The Comet's acceleration, speed, braking, and handling are all among the best in the game. In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, many of the Comet's properties are similar to those of the [[Stinger]], although traction is inferior. Both vehicles have open tops, and the speed and acceleration are around the same. In the GTA III era, the Comet's top-down convertible nature allows the protagonist to jump over the driver's-side door, facilitating a more rapid take-off. | The Comet's acceleration, speed, braking, and handling are all among the best in the game.
