Top Ten Best Cars

[1989 DX R]

What about the Mitsu 3000GT VR-4? I have a stage-4 turbo and get about 250+ mph from it.

so does RUF only tune porsches like AMG does for Benz?

No, actually, RUF produces and markets cars as an independant firm. They use Porsche hardware, but the finished products themselves are rightfully their own, labeled as RUF. For example, if you saw AMG make cars as RUF does, then you would also see AMG dealerships, with cars on their lots which have AMG placards all over them, and no silver arrow 3-pointed stars.

RUF is a manufacturer in its own right. OK it does mod porsches but it changes absolutely everything and the cars are registered as RUF's and not Porsche's. In that way it is different to AMG and BMW's M-division etc...
They have made some pretty wild cars, check out their website
http://www.ruf-automobiles.com/html/english.html
this also has some good info
http://www.mcp-motorsport.co.uk/porsche_ruf.htm
RUF currently makes the world's fastest production car, the R Tubo (the yellow car on the linked site). The comp has made many models, this one is not to be confused with the Turbo R, theyre not the same model. There's a post about it somewhere in the Porsche section, some pictures too i think. The most famous RUF was the narrow-body 469bhp CTR "Yellow Bird", which lapped the Old nurburgring in record time and in amazing fashion under test driver Stefan something's control. Apparently it was sideways for more time around the twisty circuit than straight! you can find a lot of stuff about this on the net, i managed to find a site where you could download on board footage of Stefan driving the CTR but sadly can no longer find it!
I have only ever seen one RUF, a black beauty with spoilers peppered everywhere. it was parked next to a 993 Turbo (my fave car of all time) and believe me it made it look tame.

is that what saleen does?

[Psman32@af]

in no specific order, GT-ONE road car, ZZII, speed 12, speed 6, 3000gt.

[Pennzoil GT-R]

are RUF only a US company, because they definitely arent in the UK, and i never heard of em before until GT3? as for the order, i too dont care about the rules:

F-cars(obviously)
Calsonic Skyline
GT40
Nissan Skyline R34 GTR V-spec II (fully tuned)
TVR Tuscan Speed 6 (again fully tuned). so much fun trying to keep the back end under control

[crayzayjay]

RUF is a German company. Check out the "Yellow Bird" 911 CTR, which in its day (late 80's i think) annihilated the Old Nurburgring... The video of the RUF test driver (Stefan something or other) driving Yellow Bird around the 'Ring can be bought over the net and in some stores im sure.... It's supposed to be quite unbelievable


heres one link.. there are many sites devoted to RUF and yellow bird, and the ruf site itself is pretty cool

RUF RGT

[crayzayjay]

Sorry, but if you could read you would realise i didnt say it was the fastest car ever made. I said RUF CURRENTLY makes the fastest production car in the world, which if you would like to check you will find it indeed does.

[crxlvr]

the RUF superbird is not the fastest production car ever made or currently, so learn your facts.

the fastest production car is the Mclaren F1 Supercar.

[Pennzoil GT-R]

You misunderstand him. The RUF is the fastest car being made right now. Sure the McLaren F1 amongst others are faster, but they arent in production anymore, the RUF still is. NOW do you undertsand wot Crayzayjay meant?

[crxlvr]

OK i see............now, but what till the F5 hits, it'll blow the doors off the superbird RUF.

You really are very slow... Learn how to read, learn your facts, and learn some f*cking manners

[crxlvr]

what are you ten years old, i KNOW my facts, maybe you should learn yours. i dont need to argue something with you i know his right. So even if you go back an edit your posts so it makes you look right is fine with me, i aint gonna argue about it.
