Adam, I am infitely jealous of you. That was one helluva experience you had. Not only getting to ride in a Ruf RTurbo, not only owning one, not only meeting Mr. Ruf, not only getting driving lessons from Mr. Ruf, gosh where does it stop!?! Awesome writeup nonetheless. I enjoyed every bit of it.

Oh yea, will your dad let you take it out and pick me up for a spin??

Thank you very much, there is however not even the slightest, smallest, microscopic chance that my pa will let me drive it...

all the best
adam

Hey Adam,

well... in case you have forgotten what life is like for those of us with out a Ruf Rturbo at arms legnth (juuust teasing ) I do fantasize a bit about owning one

but anyway, much of that fantasy has to do with exactly the configuration I would get if i ordered one (as you mentioned in your article that Ruf will customize your Rturbo anyway you want)
... one particular thing i have been torn about is whether I would go for the narrow body with the neat little triangular vents that Ruf cuts into them for the air intakes or for the normal Porsche turbo widebody with the stock intakes, forward of the rear wheels... I love the wider body but hate the way the stock intakes look....

Well... since I live in Atlanta GA, and see porsches everyday, i just happened to see about 3 C4S's the last two days and finally it hit me that they looked very satisfyingly wide in the rear and not as narrow as the many C2's i see everywhere.... I looked up the specs on them.. and realized They are just as wide as the stock porsche turbo but don't have those tacky air intakes in them... so now i know that's what I would get and Ruf would cut those neat little triangular air vent in there for me... And then, I would opt for the stock Porsche GT2 front air dam... and then.. and then... etc...

My question to you (finally ) is what body-width did you and your dad decide on for your Rturbo? narrow body a la C2 or the wider C4S.. it looks like a C2 but it is hard to tell in the pics....

Anyway, as you can tell I was bored and just wanted to talk about the object of my affection, the Rturbo..

Hope those major exams went well for you (if they are over with by now)

Let us know of any new adventures in the super beast!!

cheers!

:: brian
