Ruf, I don't like the old-style headlights on the other two. If Gemballa changed up the headlights to the newer 996 headlights, then I'd have to put more thought into it.

To be honest I prefer the stock looks with the power of the 3600S...

hate to say it but i think Gemballa is a joke, especially next to company like RUF.

I wonder why you would say something like that? Just curious? It's Gemballa that held the Nurburgring record several times, I don't think RUF even broke any records for this track? Am I wrong?

''record'' does not mean everything to everyone. maybe for some people who want the fastest car out there or their modded car to relate to certain ''company'' name. can those car be driven on daily bases? maybe, maybe not. but i've seen many horrible Gemballa stories. again, people who spend the money have the right to decide what they want. my opinion is just my opinion. RUF, with all respect, tune their cars to a certain limit where the car can be driven just like stock car from Porsche, therefore, SAFE. their style is also always ''functional''. maybe for some people would think the styling is boring, but at least they're functional. having said that, can anyone tell me where the scoops on the side skirts go to? cooling the rear brakes, or create drag? what about the 993 style hood? yes, they might be the fastest for the record, but have u deal with the rep in US? they're much slower than their cars for sure. they(or a single person?) are not easy to get to, especially when the parts don't fit the way they should be... this will go on & on, trust me. when RUF had no dealer in US, if a customer's car has problem they would send the factory tech to ur door to fix the problem. at least that's what i've seen. call me chicken but if i spend top dollar fix up my car i want it to be fast but reliable. certainly don't want something i'd have to worry about breaking down during spirit drive @ night in the middle of nowhere, if not caught on fire LOL...

The scoops on the side is designed to cool the rear brakes. I will agree that the US rep isn't any good and I have no idea why they chose to use a single individual versus an actual shop. They are huge in Japan with an actual showroom and tuning shop, they don't have a reputable source in the U.S., maybe thats why you feel that way about them? Just wondering why you felt the way you did thats all, doesn't bother me.
