Got my Ruf today..........

I took pics but forgot to bring the cable to download them. This car is absolutely rediculous, hoply crap!!!!!!!! I haven't been able to really work it through the gears but it I can tell it pulls like a freight train. The Ruf exhaust is more quiet than I thought but I am actually glad about that. The Ruf brakes (GT2) are very firm with little travel which I like. The clutch is softer than I would have liked but I will get used to it. Overall, I can't wait to wring it out and see what its got.
I have not even looked at the owners manuel yet so I am going ask what might be stupid questions. On the speedo there is a little green light that looks like a tach with an arrow pointing at it. It is on and I am wondering what it is and how I turn it off? How do I display the boost? Sorry for these questions guys, I just got the car at 7:30am today.

The green light indicates that cruise control is on, you turn it off by pushing the button at the end of the cruise control stalk. To display boost, push the stalk under the turn signal up or down until it shows up on the display.

Congratulations on the car, have fun with it!

Does this car have full Ruf interior? Red Comet is correct about how to find the boost gauge, alot of other info there also, just play around with it.

Variable- This car is a Ruf conversion and it does not have a Ruf interior.

Eric-Thanks, yeah the clutch is softer than my Audi S4. I just thought it would be a little more firm but no biggie, I will have no problem getting used to it.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes!!! I tried to stay in my office but it didn't work. I put over 100 miles on her today and I am in love. What a freakin' automobile. This car is really amazing, you have to get off the gas before this thing will stop pulling. I got a little over 100mph and it took a blink of an eye from about 70mph. I was worried that it was going be difficult to drive with 550hp, but it is just the opposite. Very smooth, not jerky or peaky in power delivery. I could not be happier with this car and I am proud to be a member of the exclusive Porsche community!!
