[Porsche]

Come to think of it, that's the car on the cover of Porsche Excellence Magazine. 520 Bhp TT Flat-6!!!! It's a sweet car for a cool $185,000.

[gang$tarr]

that price is so worth it! it's way faster than any ferrari out now for like 100k less

[Porsche]

Damn right! at 212 MPH!!!!

[gang$tarr]

that's a hell of alotta power for a stock 6-cylinder engine.... how does porsche do it?

[flylwsi]

i would assume they do it b/c they build a motor right the first time... instead of having to bulletproof the internals before you mod, they give that to you... so all ya gotta do is tweak away...
i love those cars.
those rims are the bomb diggaty
the only thing i dont like is the not so perfect fit of the front lip... it could be smoother, or just replace the whole thing like the yellow car w/ the tire track down the front...

To those who said that the Porsche 911 Ruf R Turbo cost 185,000 you are wrong it is 223,000. Also to whoever said the Ruf was 100,000 less than a Ferrari you are also wrong! Not to be a prick or anything but you guys need to learn more about cars before you start talking about them and acting like you know about them.

first they start with a 911 turbo which already has one of the highest per liter specific outputs of any car on the road,
then they send it to RUF's tuning facility where they work over the engine with such fun goodies as porting & polishing, bore & Stroke, utilizing ball bearing turbos, underdriving and just generally tuning to the maximum potential to make it up to RUF edition standards

in actuality there is hardly anything stock about these porsche's horizontally opposed six cylinder engines by the time this is done. Alois Ruf is to porsche as Steve Saleen is to ford mustangs, they are a german performance company that have made themselves THE name in tuning and racing porsches for 40 years so its not actually how porsche does it its how you make a porsche do it.

and i fully agree with you, it is a HELL of a lot of power given the porsches stock 3.2 liter displacement (stock, prior to the RUF treatment)

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.

turboman are you sure? Where was your source for the priceing?

Porsche have nothing to do with RUF! though Ruf buy their stock parts from porsche thats all they have to do with them. Plus if Someone saw a porsche with a RUF badge and thought it was a 'knokff', once the owner slightly twitches his big toe i think they would have no trouble relising that it was a serious peice of kit. Plus depeding on the spec of the Turbo-R will determin how fast it goes. example, if u ask for a wide body kit (like turbo and GT2) it would create more drag than the normal body (GT3) so if ur Turbo-R has the 'thin' body on it it will go faster. also u can have different ratio gears on the transmission, making the top speed of the turbo-R nearer 212mph.
