With the RGT RS however you instantaneous throttle response,

though our tt's are pretty much lagg free, they cant compare to a high reving NA unit imho

all the best

I'd imagine the Ruf would be pretty brutal to drive on the street unless the roads are very smooth. I think Ruf has a power-lift suspension to raise the car but it probably isn't available for this car. If the GT-3 is streetable but firm, the RS is going to be beyond that and the Ruf beyond that. Since your main driving appears to be on the street, are you willing to sacrifice street ride for the occassional track/DE use?

I spoke with Ruf yesterday. They do have a hydraulic suspension system for raising vehicle height (optional). It would increase weight about 12lbs. Further, they(Estonia Ruf)honestly thought that coming from a modified TT, I might miss the power as the RST RS's comes on much later and higher in the curve,though she did say that if I tracked at all the RS would be much more suited.
She told me that the RS has a very adjustable suspension similar but not necessarily identicle to the GT3 RS. She said they would get back to me on specific technical details but said the suspension used Ohlins derived shocks. Other options are a single mass flywheel and cup style gearing. Only 35 will be made.
Apparently, a guy in Santa Barbara recently purchased one. I'm going to check it out.
