Brumos-59 is infamous around these parts

Very nice, I'm sure it will put a huge grin on your face.

If it is the same, it is awesome. Sounds awesome.

The RUF deal is $45k? Really? That's still less than a GT2.

It all looks very nice but can someone explain to me why Ruf is sooo much more expensive than others that claim similar performance and reliability?

I think you get what you pay for. They will give you a warranty for the car if it breaks/blows/whatever. You won't get that from hardly anyone. I get warranty from FVD on my car. Main reason to use them. I wonder what you get with the other tuners?

The way I see it I'm paying for reliability and the name of course. Ruf is the only tuner/manufacturer that won't hurt you on resale. Sure they are more expensive, but they also do more. They are designed to run and perform as if it had rolled off the assembly line that way. Just my .02
What's that old saying: reliable. cheap. fast...choose two.

I hear you - that's what I was saying above. YOu look at the 550 kit and you say "ok, it's pricey, but it's RUF". Then you look at the other kits and it's like OH MY GOD!

Hi Doug, more pics will be coming your way this afternoon, we understand pricing with RUF is somewhat of an Issue, a lot of it is due to the weak Dollar, therefore we now have options available, see www.RACperformance.com
