Am I nuts? Traded SY 996 TT for RUF 3600s!
I long for the lighter, mid-engined, NA, RWD feel with more ponies than my also-sold 01 BoxS, but am I nuts for giving up a TT for it?
I am psyched, though. I pick up the 3600S today at the RUF place this afternoon. It is Seal Gray (which is tame for those that know...er...knew...my previous cars) with black interior. It is loaded down with RUF goodies, including a 365 HP 3.6 liter engine. Wheeeeee!
OMG, I can't wait until it is broken in!
Today is the last day with my TT, though. Dang, but that is a fine a$$ on that car. And although turbo/AWD power annoys me, it sure is fast as a cat with a bottle rocket on its tail!
So the original question still stands. Am I nuts?

Hmm, let's see...mid-engine handling, nearly GT3 power, drop top...yeah, sounds like you are nuts to me. 3600S is like a CGT-lite for 1/4 the price...

The bitter sweet day when the 3.2 in my 2000 Boxster S lets go so I may replace it with a 3.6. Please keep us updated on all the fun you will have in it.

Congrats, I think it'll be as fast as your turbo around MSR, maybe not TWS.
Although I always really liked that SY turbo.

The rear looks stock, except lower, wider tires (265s), and the RUF badge of course.
Well, the RUF exhaust does not look stock, but there has been no bodywork to the rear.
