Just heard that the Dallas Ruf place is creating a 3600S with the powerkit 3.6 engine in it, but a remapped GT3 ECU putting out 365 HP! Holy moly!

Make mine speed yellow, please. I wants one baaaaadly. But they won't take small children in trade. lol

 

yep....done....will post pics tomorrow. I saw it just as they were starting it up for the first time. an actually, it's 375 hp

 

How do they get 375hp, just the powerkit and a chip?

 

The usual details please:

Dyno sheet
Pics (must have)
Cost (+/- 10% is fine)
Fun Factor (1-10 will be fine)
Date/Time when I can arrange a flight to Ruf to test drive one.

 

From what I heard, powerkit, retuned GT3 ECU, RUF headers. Not sure if there are some other "secret ingredients" or not. I will ask if they have a dyno sheet.

$90k is the asking price. Pretty cheap, considering what I priced it out as to get a "vanilla" 345 HP 3600S into the states a few years ago.

They are going to have it out at MSR this weekend (local track) to show it off at the DE. I am not sure what they are doing about "test drives".

MJC123, where did you hear 375? Hans told me 365 and Wayne told me "360's". And the body kit wasn't supposed to be installed until Wednesday or Thursday. If it is already done, I may want to slip down there tonight.

But it isn't the body kit from the mags, the one with the twin exhaust out the rear bumper / air diffuser. They are using some other body kit.

I am talking with them now about a possible deal for trade.

 

By done, I meant the engine was in. I thought Hans said it was 375, but it may be 365 (whatever!).

Apparently the engine is also dropped 30 cm lower than the stock engine, which should also help the handling.

 

Um, 30cm lower would be about 10cm into the pavement...perhaps you meant 30mm...?

 

mjc123, do you know if the car can taken wider tires than a regular boxster? i am guessing not. something like 245s on the front (at the max) and 275 rears...? i wonder if they could retrofit that rear diffuser and exhaust routing from the magazine articles. i really liked those.

i think they HAVE to drop the motor to fit all the plumbing in, if i remember correctly.

 

that's gotta be a blast to drive

 

oops, meant mm

 

Those RUF wheels that are on it look wider than stock, but I'm not sure of the sizes.

Have you seen the 6k mile Rturbo (550 hp) they have for sale? It's on consignment, owner has the RT12 coming in June. very tempted to make an offer....
