Yes White RS and a White RS America. Maybe I'm a little crazy I don't like to wash cars and white hides it so well.

Rep Power: 170 Vince when your car gets back I've got a black sharpy and I'll put an "R" on the back of your car

Rep Power: 40 So I finally put 1,000 miles on the clock and have slowly been increasing the revs. She's a dream.
Nothing scientific to report back other than the car feels noticeably quicker (duh!) than any of my previous cars (e60 m5, stage II 996tt) in every category - off the line, at low revs and at high revs. The power delivery is pretty linear once on boost and the car continues to pull very hard up to redline in every gear.
I did the calcs the other day, and I believe my power to weight ratio is now just shy of the c6 zo6 and north of the 996 gt2, gallardo, etc.
I'm lovin' it.
Interior is next on the list. Work in progress, but should have pics to share in the next week or two.

Rep Power: 40 Send it to the guys at RUF. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to do put an "R" badge on your car (along with some other goodies)

Wow P/W of the Z06? How much does our car weighs?
May be I'll take Mark's sharpie offer for a cheaper "R"...

Sorry amigo! I have been slacking a bit.

Rep Power: 40 Vince,
I'll have to double check. EVO magazine has power to weight ratios for a whole host of cars listed in the back. I believe the metric is bhp/ton, but I could be wrong.
The stock 993tt is 276 at 408bhp. This translates to something around 350 for my RUF. I believe the zo6 is around 360. Nothing overly scientific, but gives me a ballpark figure.

Nothing too drastic. Just looking to clean it up a bit. I'll post pics next week.
