RUF R-GT2 Photoshoot :)

Well guy's, first and foremost thankyou so much for the help and opinions that lead me to picking my GT2. I appreciated what everyone had to say and contribute, my 6speed fam is awesome ;)

Now, i know alot of you have been patiently waiting for me to post up lots of pictures, videos and impressions of my newly acquired GT2. Well to keep it short and simple, its scary, in your face raw, SO FAST and go kart like! Everything i ever wanted my all out weekend/track/sports/supercar to be and feel like, i couldnt be happier and finally am very satisfied.

Despite the back end whipping out and lack of traction in the cold weather even by just hitting it in 2nd and yes 3rd, i know during the summer with proper tires all of the power can be fully utilized. I did a run today, first day out with nice sunny weather and me really getting on it, first there is NO LAG, its almost non existent which is crazy. I did a run on the same straight as i did with my turbo, and it proved to be over 36mph faster (more like 40-42mph) :eek: I couldnt believe it and its a short little run too, maybe half to 3/4 of a mile long service road TOPS with lots of braking distance!

Anyway and for the good stuff, it was 28 degrees and i tried out manual and auto settings while my fingers were turning black lol jk, they were freezing and it was very hard without a tripod, but i think tons of them came out very good , enjoy !!

Gorgeous, love the yellow calipers.

WOW !

I will stop calling you a poser now :D.

Nice place for the photo shoot, same place as for your TT if I recall correctly.

Congrats my brother, that car is sweetness. Enjoy the hell out of her but please stay safe. The weather will break soon and you will drive the hell out of it soon.
This post is very deserving of rep points and I shall rep you as soon as I can.
All the best and Congrats yet again on a wonderful, tasteful, smile producing, car.

Ruf R-GT2, there is no comparison.

Simply stunning!
You just can't go wrong with RUF. Very nice choice. :)

you have a truly special car there buddy, enjoy it and drive it hard (she likes it)

Martin, first off CONGRATS!! One of the sickest Porsches on the forum. Dude becareful with this Ruf it is going to be a handful, Especially on summer rubber in 28 degrees. I would like to line yours and mine up at the next meet. Too bad it is going rain/snow/sleet on friday, might have to put it away for a little while after you were just able to take it out. Enjoy it in the best of health, Happy New Year to you!!

All of the other places i go to are usually filled with cars and i would have to go at night after people get off work and so on, but it gets dark at 5 , so these will do for now ;)

Anyway im trying to limit my photo taking and just start DRIVING alot hah, been busy as hell so if its sunny im driving it! I got the feel for the car already, crazy but im extremely comfortable with it already so i cannot WAIT for my HPDE events and so on which i signed up for already.

Thankyou very much to everyone else ;)

Damn!!!

At first the car was very scary, i mean it still is but im getting use to it fast !

Im game for a run, just give me the word on when to meet up and i am there ;) Happy New Year to you as well!
