That appears to be a Novarossi engine, CX12 possibly. It's a good starter motor for racing. The car itself is entirely capable, but a lot of what makes a car good is in the set up. You may have to buy a few sets of springs, play around with the camber/toe, buy a set of sway bars, and experiment with different tires. The tires on there are crap.
