If I wasn't thinking of replacing it with something more rare, and something that would get less than 1-2k miles per year, I would never think of selling it. As it is, it is not been driven alot, and should be.

mkell - thanks for your input and the kind words
Adam - Great to hear from you, too! Thanks.
I plotted the RUF dyno figures over the 997tt chart on the porsche website. First time I've tried this, but I think I got it right (converting nm to lb.-ft. torque). Here's what I came up with:

looks like the TQ on the RUF car falls off very fast... in my opinion its all about the area under the curve... and I didnt see that on this graph.
check this TQ out...
check this TQ out...

Ruf cars are hardly lacking in "area under the curve"
Their ponies are much larger than most tuners... and I think the R Turbo is faster than a 997TT, especially on the top end from 100mph to top speed.
Mark, I am sure your car will be extraordinarily fast, but I doubt you would find the RT 12 to be a slouch either.
