Independent road tests have seen the stock 996 Turbo clock just over 190mph, so i dont know where your 184 mph figure came from.

My neighbor drives a 2002 Porsche 996 twin turo with Gembella options and i love that car. Every now and then ill ride in it. Now factory specs are always BS and you all know it. Porsche claimed the 911 turbo to go 196 mph. at firstbut tests say it only goes 184 mph. so we'll assume that the ruf goes 202 mph. My neighbors 996 t.t. was clocked at 209 mph. In my personal oppinion i would take the Porsche over the Ruf because to a everyday on looker if you saw a car the looked like a porsche but was called a Ruf you would think it was a knokff. Eventhough we know its not we spend a unusuall amount of time looking at cars and typing in these forums. I'm sure alot of things i said might P.O. a number of people but oh we i dont give a shit.

Firrst of all the ruf is called a Rufctr2 and it is made to be a knockoff... but they havent tested it for topspeed they only estimated on the mods and goinbby what tests have said for the porsche gt2.The car is a little more expensive but pulls about 25-30 miles faster than the 911gt2

thats a tight car and all...but what does it run the 1/4 mile in?

Where do you people invent these numbers from????

First the idiot with the 196mph and 184mph numbers for the 996TT> Porsche claim 189mph, in tests it has achieved over 190. Thats you done.

As for the RUF, its achieved the 213mph in independent tests, what more do you want? No need to estimate anything. And its not called a CTR2, thats the 993. Its not even a Turbo R, its called a RUF R Turbo, which is a different car to the Turbo R. Get your facts straight, people. Even supercars.net got it wrong by calling it a Turbo R, which as i said is a different car.

All of the above except the last i can understand.

As for the last part. I posted this when the car was brand new by Ruf. This is what other magazines were calling it at the time. Go be pissed at them.

There are two types of Ruf cars - Those that are built from the bare shell up (and stamped with Ruf serial numbers) and Porshes given the Ruf treatment. Ruf pretty much re-engineers most every component of the Stuttgart stormers and is actually an official automobile manufacturer. It's quite amazing when someone has their Porsche converted to Ruf specs because they will actually fly someone over to you to perform the conversion! Now THAT is customer service! If only Ruf were to Porsche as AMG is to Mercedes. Who knows what kind of monsters would come of such a partnership.

And word is Ruf is coming up with a successor to the 993 CTRs for their 40th? anniversary. I can't wait!

sheeeiit...213 mph has got to be damn fast

I´m sorry folks, but you are all wrong!
I´m from germany, so i know much more about that car... It is build in the algäu. The car drives 341km/h which was tested from a german magazine which is very informal (auto moter &sport)
i also drive sometimes which very expensive porsche and so on, and we can drive very fast here, because we had no limit on our highways! i think up to 160 km/h its very fast for you, but i fall into sleep under 200km/h !
it´s so cool to drive as fast as you can, and everyone on the street looks at you and there are not much accidents! i drove sometimes more than 300km/h what is very fast and i drive it at 5am on sunday ( there the transporters aren´t able to drive) ITS SO COOL AND ITS LEGAL!

so on, its now 1.06 am in germany, i go to bed, good night!

Zubi> whether or not you’re going fast depends on the circumstances you are in. 160km/h isn’t lightning pace on the autobahn, or on the motorway here in England (even though it’s still 50km/h above the limit), but it can certainly be fast if youre driving down a twisty B-road in the UK!

Anyhow, welcome to AF

[zubi]

thx, crazyjayjay!

but in fact, we drive legal 250 and higher, you loose your license if you do it:licker:
