Cabriolet Racing and Performace is a group like minded porsche owners who fondly refer to the their vehicles using the acronym of C.R.A.P. While this a seem a small group it currently has around 30 members. All owners of porsche cabriolets are welcome. The only restriction is that they must have added at least one part or adjustment they feel will increase the performanceoe of the car.

Performance adjustments are wide and varied. There could be the simple change of tires to a better brand or an all performance based machine used strickly for racing. Generally members of the group posses cars from the mid 80s. With 1984 being the first official year for the 911 version of the cabriolet. (cabriolet is a european convertable)

Cabriolet porsches have throught the years been frowned upon for racing due to perceived limitations in their abilitys and some weight penalties due to reinforcement. Items such as chassis fles are easily overcome with the addition of a full roll cage. Coeficency of drag can be assisted with the addition of a fiberglass hard top and other body modification. Full race cabs can be as light as 2000lbs and have as much as 400HP in the case of turbo version.
