Fabulous car. Imagine how cool it would look it you took out the black contrasting plastic and replaced it with carbon!

Good luck!!

It needs a RUF body kit! Saw the same colour combo on a "RUF'ed" 996 in Pfaffenhausen. Much better with the body kit IMO.

That car is well worth whatever they are asking for it. I have an '02 550 conversion and it is rediculous!!! Ruf does not play around........

I'm tossing around the idea of selling mine...its become a bit of a garage queen since some recent acquisitions...although its the fastest of the bunch !

03 Ruf 550hp Arctic Silver with Ruf wheels, ruf coilover suspension, ruf instruments, pedals, taller 6th gear good for 215mph+, 9000 miles

Car was built on a 1000 mile aerokit car with painted steering wheel, painted center console, sport seats with painted backs...

Car is bulletproof and very, very fast !

I was offered 108k wholesale...open to offers for now...

here's a pic

I knew it would only be a matter of time lol. Your RUF is absolutely stunning though - any replacements in mind?

That would be correct if the graphs were showing torque in lb-ft, but they're not, they show torque in nM, which is how it's quoted generally in Germany.

Jas,

Have you run the RUF side by side against the Carrera GT? It was faster?

I haven't run it side by side...but I think it is definitely faster (certainly on the top end). It feels faster, and the sensation in the pit of stomach is definetly much more "noticeable".

If I wasn't thinking of replacing it with something more rare, and something that would get less than 1-2k miles per year, I would never think of selling it. As it is, it is not been driven alot, and should be.
