Spent a little time @ Ruf today (RT12 Pics)

I have a good buddy that works up at Ruf, so with the afternoon off I took my 02TT over to see him and some of the eyecandy they have.

Pics of this RT12 have been posted before. So this isn't anything earthshattering, but I took a few pics as it made my SY Turbo look commonplace sitting next to it.

As many of you now it is painted a flat silver which cost $12,000.
Depending on the light and the angle of the shot you can see how it has a hint of blue reflection to it. Hottest P-Car I have ever seen and from what I was told leaves a CGT in the dust.

What I dont understand is why many owners on this site are reluctant to buy these cars (cost aside) instead of speaning the major $$ they do on mods anyway, this car out of the box is insane in every catagory! And looks wise it is sweeeet!

I know who the owner is, but not personally. I was told he drove it from Dallas to Telluride, CO and back the first weekend with the car.

My bud Jonathan took me for a ride in a RTurbo 550 which was sweet.
Hans also took me for a spin in his 997 RKompressor as well.

Does anyone know what the Rt12 bodykit costs? I know the supercharger for the 997S is $23K, but I am curious about the kit.

If I get any mods, I'll go big or go home - i.e. off to Ruf it goes.

They had the tangerine orange one there as well, but for whatever reason I didn't take any pics of it.
