Love your vanity plate. I am bored with mine. I like funny ones. Any ideas?

I will defend the 996's interior compared to the 993. Big improvement. But, I do agree that 993's are king.

Chris,

I'm digging RUF550. I'd stick with that, although Cannoli had some good suggestions as well. The other one i was considering was RUFINIT, but it was already taken!

Texas only allows 6 characters and RUFNIT was taken here also. That was my first choice.

Great car looks fast just standing there. My friend owned a 1989 RUF she would let me drive and the power was off the charts. Have fun with her.

I’ll update this thread with more pics as they come in and will be sure to do a proper photo shoot once the car is delivered.

Haven’t driven her yet, but wanted to give a shout out to Hans, Wayne, Bob, Mark, Jonathan and all of the folks at RUF Dallas for working on this project over the past few months. Can’t say enough about their level of professionalism, sound advice and overall attention to detail. The true RUF experience in every possible way imaginable…

Thanks guys!!!!

Kevin

So any more drives or are you going to save it for the weekend?

you guys are too much! you're posts have actually resulted in folks calling with offers.

When I tell them the car's not for sale, they're totally confused.

Couldn't sell her at this point with the dollars i have into her, but am really enjoying the seat time!

Just starting to explore her abilities, but so far the fastest car I've ever driven, by a long shot.

Cheers
kevin

That's the first vid where I have seen the M6 lose to anything. Those guys are tools. THe vids of the M6 beating the 997 and Z06 are classics. Give any car the jump and 1 sec head start and it will win. 993 thumbs up!
