Unfortunately Enzos, Paginis etc are quite rare on the roads. There are not many sold in Sweden and usaually spend most of the time in garages. Gustavs event gave me the oppurtunity to race a CGT and a SLR. On paper, for what is worth..., I should win 0 - 300 against all the cars you mentioned, except the Veyron. The Koenigsegg has a clrear edge on top speed. I think the magic with the RUF is how easy it is to drive it everyday.
Hi RUF ROCK!
How would you rate the shorter gearing vs. the standard gearing?
I am in the process of buying a Rt12 and am thinking about ordering a shorter gearing. What would be your recommendation?
Many thanks & congrats on your car!
P.S.: I would rather not install the aero kit or whatever optical package you have in mind. Your car is perfect understatement as it is now

I hear you about finding cars to race. Heffner Performance in Sarasota, Florida is finishing up a twin turbo conversion on my Gallardo. When it is completed it will make at least 700rwhp on 93 octane and somewhat more on the race gas program. I lined up a race with a 599, which should be fun.
What octane fuel were you using for the airfield races?

Accually we raced twice. The CGT-driver claimed that he misshifted the first time, so I offered him a rematch. After him paying all thet money for a fantastic car like the CGT, it would be rude not to. He false started the second time and thereby managed to initially steal one car length. Since the other RT12 had a bad tire and only raced with me and another RUF didn´t show up, I had the oppurtunity to take their slots in the schedule. It added up to serious number races.How it all ended? I think I promised Gustav to not reveal anything until videos have come out. Until then let me just state; that RUF(Thx Peter V for a fanstatic job) has build me a great everyday supersportscar. It has the RT12 engine plus a lot of extra goodies. With +700 hp and +900 nm - It kicks like a mule on steroids and accelerates like a bat out of hell bethween 200 -and +300 km/h.
Why do you claim 700+ hp when SUPRA (who is partner in RUF Sweden) states it has 650 hp?
Whats the truth? 650 or 700+?

I assume: Guaranteed was 650 HP and I guess the owner got lucky
Hardly dont think this car had time for a dyno run since it was completed Saturday morning and rushed to Sweden.. as Erik said, its a Rt12-engine and should put up 650 hp.. so my question, is there something else made on it?
