***** c) Installation for not that expirienced users:

!!! ALWAYS BACKUP FILES BEFORE PLAYING AROUND WITH THEM !!!

Start IMG Tool and open \models\GTA3.img in your Vice City folder.
Use Edit/Find to locate "comet.dff"
Rename it to "comet_old.dff" or something like that
Add the new "comet.dff"
Find "comet.txd"
Rename it to "comet_old.txd" or something like that
Add the new "comet.txd"

Use your text editor to open \data\default.ide in your vice city folder
Find a line beginning with "210, comet ... " and replace it with this one:
210,	comet,		comet,		car, 	COMET,	 	COMET, 			null,	executive, 	10, 	6,	2ff0,		249, 0.73
Save the file

Open \data\handling.cfg with your text editor
Find a line beginning with "COMET ..." and replace it with this one:

;Cerbera's handling for Porsche 911 Speedster by Fragdieb2
COMET           1450.0 1.8 4.5 1.3 0.0 -0.04 0.24 75 0.80 0.69 0.49 5 250.0 23.0 R P 4.0   0.62 0 22.5  1.40 0.17 0.25 0.60 35000 0.25 -0.15 0.50 0.0	0002083	1  1
;

Save the file

Open \data\carcols.dat with your text editor
Find a line beginning with "comet ..." and replace it with this one:
comet, 1,71, 12,71, 6,71, 0,12, 53,1, 76,12, 12,1
Save the file

Hint: Be sure that you don't add any blank lines to any of those files, GTA: VC reacts quite allergic to that.

Okay, you're ready to go now... Just start the game and enjoy driving the rare 911 Speedster.

notes:
UPDATE: Cerbera managed to create a handling for this one, too. Thank you very much.

This is it, finally, a classic open-air Porsche for Vice City. The Body is 90% identical with my 911 Turbo. Although it's a bit too new for Vice City (Porsche 911 Speedsters were only built in '89), I think it is a good comet replacement.
There might be a minor bug when replacing the comet. On my machine, it is impossible to damage the right door of the comet or cars that replace it. I don't know if this is a bug in the original vehicles.col file or if my Vice City is just modded too much. It is definitely not a bug in my *.dff file, the damaged right door works fine when replacing other cars.
I usually post the previews of my cars at http://forums.gouranga.com, so have a look there if you're interested what I'm doing.
