Erik,
You are absolutely right, when I did my RUF 550 upgrade, I was qouted for the 550, 600 and the 650. I took the 550; the difference between 550 & 600 is that on the later you get new bigger turbos, while the 550 retains the originals. very fast indeed. The name of the GM of RUF Bahrain is:

More Porsche numbers from the same Autobild test;
0-100km/h : RUF RT600 3.4 - Wimmer 650 GT2 3.6s- 9ff turbo 1000 3.8s
0-200km/h : RUF RT600 10.8 - Wimmer 650 GT2 10.1s- 9ff turbo 1000 8.7s
0-300km/h: RUF RT600 31.2 - Wimmer 650 GT2 26.6s- 9ff turbo 1000 18.1s
100-200km/h : RUF RT600 7.4 - Wimmer 650 GT2 6.5s- 9ff turbo 1000 4.9s
200-300km/h : RUF RT600 20.4 - Wimmer 650 GT2 16.5s- 9ff turbo 1000 9.4s
Lothar, hope you're doing fine, regards to Julian
As to the 997GT2 since some people are wondering, downforce does not help it at high speeds. I have run against one with my 993TT and they are very fast indeed below 250kph.

just a few brief spurts to around 260kmh more or less, nothing scientific. as far as i could tell, the two cars are almost perfectly matched.
would have been interesting at speeds above 300kmh, but we didn't get a chance to try.

you are right he sure is and his Z06 is way faster than the RT12...... N/A to.... and by that i mean both 1/4 mile and top speed and for the matter of fact pulls more top speed......

07-18-2008, 07:35 AM
thats interesting since the RT12 i believe is only 650hp and the evo is 700hp.....
Then a 550hp ruf and 600Hp evo would be a nice race......

Rep Power: 101 I must say it would be quite an achievemnt to tune the Z06 and shave off 17 seconds of its 0-300 km/h time. I call BS until proven.

I understand that's the only sort of reply I can expect when you were wrong about the 550 vs 600 kit.
If you can't afford it, don't buy it.
