Hi greg & welcome to the list!

First off, the biggest difference (the one that hits you in the gut) is the
engine. It alone totally changes the car. The suspension, wheels, etc. make
a difference, but it doesn't turn the car into an //M series or a Carerra
4.

However, if you want to get it closer to one of these, keep reading the
list. There are several people who keep trying (some of them are pretty
successful).
