RUF 3800S almost as fast as my old 996TT
Yesterday I went by the RUF dealership in town to get my car tech inspected for an upcoming DE (thanks guys!). They had a new 3.8L X51 conversion for the 987S. WOWOWOWOWOWOW! That car is a bloody rocket! Close to 400 HP (with the RUF tuning that goes with it) and that car felt within a gnat's **** of my old 996TT in acceleration. Dang that car hauls butt. Hey! But my car still SOUNDS better!!! lol
PORSCHE!!! HELLO?!?!?!? BUILD THE PROPER 987/CAYMAN AND THEY WILL COME!!!
Why did I post this here instead of the Boxster/Cayman forum? 1) Because I already posted this on PPBB and 2) because price-wise I know you guys think in the same $$$ category as this car and because if you want a mid-engined Porsche roadster that is oh-so-close to 996tt speeds that isn't a bazillion dollars...one now exists.

The quote from Wayne at RUF:
The X51 conversion on the Boxster S is $38,900 (but that includes turning the stock engine back into Porsche, it is about $42,000 if you want to keep the old engine). Please feel free to tell people to contact me directly with any questions (214/269-1571).
It may seem pricey, but RUF quality is second to none. And if you ever want to sell your car, a "conversion" car is going to get no respect from buyers, except if the name on the hood is RUF. At least that is my take on it.
