Ruf "Yellow Bird"?

ok i have a question about this car. what was it like to driving one? is the boost lag that bad? on the videos i have seen it does look like the boost lag isnt that bad. i have always wanted to drive one but i never seen for one. haha

i have tried the search links but nothing came up about driving one. sorry if this is a stupid question just a dream that i have had since a was a wee little boy. haha

Thank you for reading my question , and you guys have some badass cars.

there are a couple here on the site. You might do a search for "Condor" I think that is one.

Yellow bird is extremely light and fast. These are very unique cars. On Youtube, you will see under Yellow bird Ruf and the driver is amazing with that car. Don't forget it is based on RWD, light, and powerful. The driver of that car was a hell of a driver.

Yelow Bird is crazy. One of the hottest cars ever made. That car is what dreams are made of.

There is only 1 yellow bird. ( Alois's car ).
There are other yellow CTR's but his car is the real one.
I have had the opportunitiy to drive a CTR (same motor) but the one I drove was based on a 964 Narrow body. It was around 600hp and 2700 lbs. It was a beast. Faster than a 700hp 996TT, for sure. This particular car had a manual transmission with a pedal less clutch. Amazing experience.

Some pics of a green CTR here in the UK, don't like the interior but you can forgive it that!
A friend had a CTR some years ago before i knew him, he says that it was undeniably quick but it stank of fuel and it wasn't well mannered, lot's of lag too. Simply put it was a very raw car, he said he wouldn't have another one.
I'd love to drive one, just to tick the box
