Congrats Martin. It would be interesting to see how your ownership of this Ruf GT2 develops.

Marty,
I think what Vince is saying that no matter how many RWD sports cars you drove including your M3 and 996TT converted to RWD, the GT2 will awaken your senses. It's difficult to describe but you will feel it for yourself.
Not saying the GT2 is the fastest thing out there, but man the rush that car produces stock is just different, it was for me anyways. Your Ruf GT2 is a whole other ball game.
With all due respect to Protomotive and Todd (who I think is a genious), EVO, etc, Ruf Cars are just out there in a different field. And a Ruf GT2 well thats just sick crazy.
Again Congrats to you brother, you deserve it. Get her and enjoy the hell out of her all in good safe health.

I understand exactly where you are coming from Bajo, again, ive been in GT2's and this is what made my choice. These cars have SO MUCH GRIP when driven properly, that you can drive them fearlessly (like some people OVEREXAGGERATE) without the car skipping a beat.

I am glad I got your attention in the mist of all these hypes. I am as happy for you as everyone here. I just wanted you to be focus and stay safe with this car. If you listen to advice from guys like Ron, Garrett, Bajo, Joe ect.. you'll have a much happier experience with this car then the previous...
That said welcome to the club bro.
Best Regards,
Vincent
