Just curious? what will be the results? I didn't see any thread on this yet..

 

i think that the RT12 could take the Z06 in a striaght line from a dig if it is the 4wd version it might start falling behind as speeds increase and traction is no longer an issue. Also, in cornering i think that the advantage might have to go the Z06. IN "bad-***" factor i would say that the RT12 wins by a long shot.

 

There are three different engines available for Porsche RUF RT12. Actually all three versions have the very same engine but some modifications gives different power output: 530 HP, 560 HP and 650 HP. You can also get RWD or AWD versions of these models.

The 560 and 650hp versions would eat up a C6 Z06. The 530hp version would be a lot closer given that the Z06's hp seems to be under rated.

 

I concur with Ruiner,

takes a good (HONEST 560+) to beat the Z06 due
to weight disadvantage.
Z06 is an amazing car--wow what performance and "reasonable
quality" for a good price. And yes the interior is lame...

Sorry but don't you mean 530HP, 590HP and 650HP? In any case i'd take the 650HP anytime!

 

It's 530HP,560HP and 650HP as ruiner has said.

 

I am reading out of the RUF catalogue.

The Rt12 comes with 530, 560 and 650 hp.

And the RUF website says the same thing.

I have driven the Rt12 650 hp.
I was there when Road & Track tested it.

They did 0-100 km/h in 3.15 secs and 0-200 km/h in 9.7 seconds.
Qrtr mile in 11.0 @ 216 km/h. V Max > 350 km/h

Pirelli P Zero Rosso street tires.
Front: 255/35/ZR19 Rear: 305/30/ZR19


The Z06 is an impressive car. However in a straigh line it has NO chance.

0-100 km/h = 4,0 sec., 0-200 km/h = 12,0 seconds, V Max = 320 km/h

But the Z06 can turn, unless they cheated with the tires

Rt12 story 2 (or how fast is it?)

i don't think think the 560 bhp version would "eat up" a Z06, at all. I think it would be failry close, actually. Some Z06's have dynoed 470-480 rwhp bone stock.

They trap at 126-127 mph bone stock, too. What can a RT12 w/ 560 bhp trap? 0-100? 150?

 

According to RUF the 530 hp will do 0-100 km/h in 3,7 secs. (0-62 mph)
The 560 hp does it in 3,6 secs.
Always hard to guess without more facts, but the RUF would probably win but not by much. 650 hp - another story!

The old RUF R Turbo 520 hp trapped 11.9 secs @ 122.7 mph
0-60 in 3.8 secs.

 

RUF RUF RUF- the bigger bark has the bite...the ZO6 has no chance against stg II and III engines so to speak!

What kind of Dyno is Mr. Lou Gigliotti Running and
what was his baseline?

Didnt Ole Lou used to race Mustangs (and sell high perf parts for stangs?)

The following is merely an observation, devoid of malice, and not intended to disparage anyone. The Porsche community appears to be giving a considerable amount of attention to the C6 ZO6, citing the ZO6 as a benchmark for comparison, and opining as to how certain Porsches would fair against the ZO6. More so than other new cars. Nothing wrong with such discussions, and I am among the those who are genuinely impressed with the C6 ZO6. Nevertheless, I question whether there are subconscious motives/reasons underlying the considerable attention paid to the C6 ZO6 by this community. I am not qualified to answer this question and I will not speculate as to what is going on below the surface, but the heightened attention is palpable.

I am totally with u on this man. Any of the RUF RT12's would eat a z06 and spit it out. U have to remember the R TURBO is based on a 996 TURBO, the RT12 is based on a Carrera S which has better drag coefficient and is about 300 lbs lighter. Also, the test on the 11.0@134 was I believe with AWD. The RWD will probably run like 10.8-10.9 @136 or 137. So all the RT 12's will DOMINATE, CRUSH, and ABSOLUTELY EMBARRASS a z06, not to get to from a roll but those turbos on the RT12 will OBLITERATE it.

 

The highest I have seen bone stock is 455rwhp, actually. Show me a dyno of a bone stock Z06 doing 470-480 rwhp and I will change my statement.
