not a 997 motor though. Ruf-erized 996TT motor.

 

The song "Sex on wheels" comes to mind.....

 

Wow blue is nice also, it cant touch that orange though, wow :drool::::::

 

No idea really. I only passengered in it through London traffic. This car, although it has the RT12 body etc, has a 3.8 997 Compressor engine in it, not the 3.8TT version.

I know from people who have driven the RT12 that it is really really fast...........

 

Guy,

Perhaps it might be time to upgrade the Nardo motor to a 3.8?

I wonder how the handling compares between the RWD RT12 and your RGT2...

 

Exactly what I was wondering.

 

It's another complete engine strip and rebuild to go 3.8, so it would be a lot of money for the extra gain......

It would need a track-drive to make a good comparison. I would guess the 997 chassis is better than 996 in general, but I would have thought the RT12 would still be softer compared to the scapel-like GT2. Ruf build their cars for the road, not the track, as you know.

I would love to go for an RT12, it's so beautifully made. The rear engine cover and spoiler is all-carbon for example. The integrated rollcage is a piece of art as always and has a removable horizontal bar in the rear so you still use the seats, then put the bar in and fit harnesses.

If you look carefully at the blue car is has the newest Ruf wheels, which are 19's and are a cross between the modular and the old style one piece.

 

I am very sorry that Part II has been delayed.

The text is ready, but my website was hit by a worm which created some problems with the ftp so I can't upload pics the way I want. And the story is a lot nicer with pics

However I drove the new RS4 last weekend on the race track, and then went to Nürburgring.

You might be interested in some of the story + pics

Have a nice weekend!

Hmm interesting, i alwasy thought Ruf made them into more track oriented cars rather than just road cars?!?

Anyway that's a sick idea, the horizontal bar that comes out, i feel it kind of defeats the purpose but doesnt at the same time. Can you buy that anywhere??

 

Very nice write up

 

manthey is more "race oriented" while ruf is "more" for the street.

but this does not mean that those cars will perform bad in the opposite category.

 

AMAZING i know im joing this thread late but OMG i am speechless

 

hey erik, we are still waiting, can you help us?

 

I am a big baller I sprung for 2 of the key chains, one for the M and the other for my truck. They both fell apart after about 2 months. Figures. No I have 2 calipers w/no rotor.
