damn, so that's what it looks like. I bested my personal record from last year in the Ruf on this year's Players Run in the DTM. I'm now a member of the double century club twice over

That is insane man. Hats off to you!
You guys take a lot of risks.

Reminds me of this "Polish Adam" guy in his LP640.

I was told 200mph in LP640 is like doing 120mph in some cars. You feel nothing. But a RUF... scary.

It really is a crazy perspective to run that fast really late at night and pass someone going 70ish. You see these lights in the distance, and in seconds you're by them and they are gone in the mirror before you know it.


This is one area dominated by the mega HP TT Vipers and TT-GTs. The ability to pull upward of 230 in 5th and then drop it to 6th and roll along at 200 turning 4k rpm is a feeling like no other. Hearing the turbos whistle and the way the car feels like it's just squatting down, it's exactly what those cars were built for.

Damn things are so smooth and stable it's like a concord with 4 wheels.


Interesting high speed fact. On a viper there is a surprising low pressure zone right around the doors, so if you think you're being slick and fold the mirrors in, they snap back out around 170.


Anyone who thinks they are a car guy needs to run up over 200 in a street car sometime, it's a hell of an experience. With 800 or so to the wheels you can get there in a hurry and slowed back down before anyone is the wiser.

My Ruf was built to go 200mph all day long. And as I was passing an LP640 at about 180mph in my DTM, so is it as well. I can tell you that if anything were to go wrong at those speeds, I'd much rather be in my Ruf than an LP. Lambos are built to look fast (coming from a guy who loves Lambos as well), but at those speeds, they're out of their league.
